Line Edit Points

[Nonsmokinirish]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I am trying to draw some curves by hand in a slide. In previous PC versions of PP you could achieve this by clicking on a straight drawn line and then "edit points" and drag the line into any kind of shape that you needed. Where can I find this functionality with PP 2008 for Mac? Hopefully someone can help me...

Go to the View - Toolbars menu and make sure that the Drawing
toolbar is checked. There are several drawing tools for lines
that you can use in the Drawing toolbar, including straight
lines, connectors, curves, freeform and scribble tools.

PowerPoint 2008 for Mac features the Edit Points
functionality as well. Right-click or Control+click on any
line, and you should see that command. I believe it works
about the same as the Windows version.

On the Drawing toolbar select the pen tool of your choice from the Lines &
Connectors tool rather than the Line Tool. You can then Control/Right-Click
the resulting line to select the Edit Points command.
