Arrows and Connecting Lines

How do you get lines / Arrows to stay connected between boxes when you move the boxes positions.

RE: Arrows and Connecting Lines

Hi John,

Thank you for your question.

Select the Line or Arrow shape and before you draw it hover over the border of one of the shapes on the page.

Red boxes should then appear around the shape. Place the + handle over one of the red boxes and draw the arrow towards the border of the the second shape until you see the red boxes. You then place the + handle over a red box to connect the arrow to the second shape.

If the process has been successful you should get two red circles representing the connection points.

When the shapes move the arrow is then connected.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

PowerPoint tip:

Quick undo last action using shortcut

A well-used and favourite shortcut is Control + z.

If you are typing and you need to undo an action, it is quicker to undo using the keyboard, rather than reach for the mouse.

so control + z to undo....
