Timeline

[Mordido]

I use Word 2003 in Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003. I'm currently I
writing or trying to make a timelines, i.e. timeline which refer to verb
tenses. When I write, I pick my point of view (POV) by indicating where I am
in time--the NOW. From that "now" I use my verb tenses, past, present,
future, simple, perfect, progressive, and perfect progressive
tensesl--Whatever. A timeline helps me see where I am, was, and will be, and
the scenes associated with where I am, was, and will be. Word 2003 provides
a template for a timeline, but I can't figure out how to change the bubble
boxes, which I use above or below a time frame, e.g.e 1965, I can't figure
out how to change them from square or rectangle to the provided template's
rectangle with an arrow pointing to the time frame, e.g. 1966. Can anyone
help?

Hi Mordido,

You're using the template from this page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010162651033.aspx ?

Those 'bubbles' are autoshapes you can access from
the Word drawing Toolbar (View=>Toolbars=>Drawing) and
selecting the 'Autoshapes' button on that toolbar.

If you have already created a textbox or other autoshape
with text in it and have that autoshape selected you can
use the 'Draw' then 'Change Autoshape' choice to pick
a different shape. (In this case it was from the
'Block Autoshapes' collection.
