Drawing Arrows

[jw]

Is there a quick and easy way to draw arrows other than
using a pen?

The mouse?

It would depend on the endpoint of the arrows. OneNote
does not have "smart" drawing tools like one would find
in Visio.

What are you trying to do?

I would like to be able to use connect two separate
dialog boxes with an end point at one of the dialog boxes.

any idea how I can do that?
thanks

Dialog boxes? Do you mean Note Containers? If so, the answer is the
same - use the pen or the mouse.

There are some predesigned shapes you can download from this site (along
with some other neat stationery files):

If you keep this template available, you can copy and paste into your
document. You won't be able to recolor, rotate, etc. but it may help in
some way...

You can use the mouse to act as a pen if you have a steady hand. Otherwise
you could create your line/arrow in Word and then copy/paste it to OneNote.
A little clunky, but it would work.
