I have a new installation of Office SBE 2003. The Autoshapes menu has the
'connectors' command grayed out.. How can I rectify this.

Hi George

The Connectors only work if you have your AutoShapes in a Drawing Canvas.

You can get Word to create a Drawing Canvas whenever you insert an AutoShape
by doing Tools > Options > General and ticking the "Automatically create
drawing canvas..." box.

Or, insert one explicitly using Insert > Picture > New Drawing.

Hope this helps.
