Fork (One to Many line)

[Darren Reynolds]

I need a line to join two shapes. I need the line to like a fork.

This is to illustrate a one to many relationship in a data model.

I'd also like something with a fork on both ends, to illustrate a many
to many relationship.

I don't seem to be able to find these in Visio 2000. Does anyone know
where I can get one?

Many thanks.
Darren

Do you mean the "crow's feet"? You can change from an arrow to crow's feet
by:

1. Right-click the line and choose Format / Line.
2. In the Line Ends group, click the End drop-down and scroll down to
about line end number 27.
