How do I set the angle of the point of a block arrow to 60 degre.

I have a few block arrows of different lenghts, so their points have
different angles, which can be adjusted with the yellow handles. But I want
them all to be set to exactly 60 degrees, how can I do that? Holding ctrl,
shift, or alt while moving the handles doesnt help. there's no property or
parameter available. please help!

Hi,

Depends on PowerPoint version, but draw a line (make sure it is horizontal),
right click on it, Format AutoShape, Size tab, Set the oration to 60
degrees. Then use that as your angle to change the arrow angle. It is a
manual technique but will work.

If you also wan't an automated method you could try this (on a copy!!) Pretty
well trial and error but it seems to work

Sub arrowset()
Dim oshp As Shape
On Error Resume Next
For Each oshp In ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
oshp.Adjustments(2) = 0.28
Next
End Sub
