The Microsoft program, Visio, creates flowcharts and diagrams consisting of shapes, text, hyperlinks and arrows. The program includes a number of basic and complex shapes from a simple circle to a stick figure. If you wish to create an original stick figure, connect several shapes until they resemble a human figure. If you prefer the program's original shapes, add the stick figure shape to your drawing.
