2003 Autoshape Connector Points

[John]

Hi, guys...against my better judgment, one of my users
wants some flow diagram done in PowerPoint rather than
Visio. OK...just about done.

However, one of the things I cannot solve is how do you
add another connection point anchor to an autoshape. I
have some shapes that have more than 4 connections and
since direction is important, I need to keep them as
individual.

In Visio, you select the correct button, hold down the
CTRL key and place as many anchors on a shape as you like.
I cannot figure out how to do this in PowerPoint

Thanks

What I have done before is to create your own autoshape using the FreeForm
line draw icon under Autoshapes. Even if you are creating a simple
rectangle, you can click several times on the same line to get individual
points to hang connectors off of.
