Nassi-Schneiderman stencil for MS Visio 2007
Contrary to what I usually write about, I’m posting an article today about MS Office Visio shapes. In particular Nassi-Schneiderman which is very helpful in designing software/business processes that contain multiple decision steps, case-statements, loops etc..

Unfortunately, this template is no longer available by default in MS Office Visio 2003/2007 but after searching the Internet I came across this site: http://users.tm.net/tonietienne. From here you can download the Nassi-Schneiderman stencil and two templates (optional).
Visio 2003:
Download the stencil to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates and rename to Nassi-Schneiderman.vss (change the extension to .vss).
Visio 2007:
Download the stencil to ..\My Documents\My Shapes and rename to Nassi-Schneiderman.vss (change the extension to .vss). From the menu, select File, Shapes, My Shapes.
