I need to add a flow chart from Word into a discussion post. How do I do such a thing?

Hi  @kristencoaz ...

Thank you for the clarification.  If you have your Microsoft Word flowchart open on your computer, maybe one of the easiest ways to make it an image is to use the Windows Snipping Tool (directions on how to access this program and save a clipped image are at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-10-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots).

One you have your flowchart saved as an image, you can use one of the two following Guides to embed or attach your image to a discussion post (paying particular attention to the information in the blue boxes at the top of each of these Guides):

• How do I embed an image in a discussion reply as a student?
• How do I attach a file to a discussion reply as a student?  (Your instructor may choose to allow or not allow file attachments...per this Guide.)

I hope this information will be of help to you, Kristen.  Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
