In preparing flowcharts for complex problems:
•    The flowchart may not fit in a single page.
•    It may be difficult to interconnect all boxes directly.
In such cases, flowcharts can be broken into parts and connectors can be used to indicate the location of the joins. If the example in Figure 4 is split it will be as shown in Figure 9.
A unique number is specified within the connector and an arrow is drawn into it at the point where the chart is broken. Another connector with the same number and an arrow pointing away from it is drawn at the point where the broken chart is to be joined again.
Connectors are inserted at the point where the flowchart splits. However, the location of each join is clearly indicated by the corresponding number.
Tips for Flowchart   
The following points are to be remembered while drawing a flowchart:
•    Initially concentrate on the logic of the problem and draw the main path of the flowchart.
•    After the main part is completed, add all the branches and loops.
•    A flowchart can have only one Start point and one Stop point.
•    As far as possible, keep the flowchart machine independent by not using terms associated with the computer.
•    It is not necessary to represent each and every step of a program in the flowchart. Use steps that are meaningful.
•    Use descriptive terms that represent the logic of a problem. Do no use ambiguous terms.
•    Remember that another user or programmer should easily understand the flowchart.
