How do I stop the connectors from being greyed out in Word 2003?

[Shanklin]

I don't seem to be able to use the connectors in the autoshapes, they are
greyed out. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi Shanklin

The connectors are only available if you are using a Drawing Canvas. You can
get Word to create a Drawing Canvas automatically when you insert a shape if
you tick Tools > Options > General > Automatically create drawing canvas
when inserting AutoShapes.

Alternatively, you can create a Drawing Canvas manually by doing Insert >
Picture > New Drawing.


Hope this helps.
