add arrows to tables
Using Microsoft Word. Have table with text added. Now need to add arrows to
document inside table and outside table. I can place beginning and end points to my arrows but when I let go of mouse there is no line. What comes up on screen is what looks to me like large text box around the entire table. What am I doing wrong? |

JoAnn thank you. If you can envision 4 box table and words in the center of
each box then having to put arrows from the words in one box crossing the border into another box (across & up/down)... that's what I need help with....

Another thing that will probably help is to go to Tools Options
General and uncheck the box for "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes". (The large text box you mentioned is the drawing canvas. It's meant to group together all the objects in a drawing, but most of us think it's just a PITA.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Figured out the problem JoAnn.... I originally created the table in Paint.
Oops! Thanks. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: Try adding text boxes with arrows in them. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "AngieB" wrote in message ... Using Microsoft Word.
