Why are my connector selections grayed out?

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

Hi Diana,

In MS Word 2003 the connectors are only available when you're placing your drawing elements inside a Drawing Canvas
(Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing).
You can still use arrows outside of a drawing canvas. Connectors basically move along with a drawing shape when you move the shape.

If you have MS Powerpoint 2003 you can create the graphic there (a Powerpoint slide is basically a drawing canvas <g>) and it's
sometimes easier to work with the graphics there.

===============
I want to use connectors in a document, but all of the shapes are grayed out
- Word 2003. Can you help, please?

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply, Bob. I haven't used PowerPoint much at all.
If I have a document in Word that has graphics in it, can I copy it or export
it to Powerpoint without losing my formatting? Each page of the Word
document would be one slide.

Thanks!
