connector lines and text boxes
Using Word 2003
I have several text boxes I would like to connect using elbow connectors so that no matter how I shift the placement of a text box on the page, it will remain connected to the other text boxes. Word Help indicates there are supposed to be "blue connection points" that show up on my text boxes when I mouse over them after selecting the connector from autoshapes. I don't seem to see the "blue connection points" even when I use the rectangular basic shape from the autoshape selections. What am I missing?? |

connector lines and text boxes
Hi B.K.,
In Word versions prior to Word 2007 the active connectors are only available within in a Word Drawing Canvas/MS Draw Insert=Picture=New Drawing. =============== "BK" wrote in message ...

Thanks. That helped a lot. Wonder why you have to activate the canvas and can't just use the drawing toolbar. "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote in message ...
