Sobaihi

I draw a flow chart and i needed connectors. When i want to select
connectors, they appear to be feded, can not be selected. in other word, it
seems they are not installed. or they are not avialable.

If this is Word 97, then indeed you need to install additional software
(PhotoDraw IIRC). If it's 2002 or 2003, you need to use the drawing canvas.

Hi Sobahai,

To add a bit to Suzanne's reply. In Word 97 and Word 2000
the active connectors are only 'live' if you use MS Draw 97/98.
For Word 97 it's a download from
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/CD010226221033.aspx?iStartAt=11


For Word 2000 it's an optional install item from CD#1 from
MS Works Suite, or from CD #2 in MS Office 2000. You can
use Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing or Insert=>Object=>MS Draw 98
to create a drawing canvas to hold your flow chart.

Starting with Word 2002(XP) MS Draw Add-in was replaced
by the built in MS Office Drawing Canvas
(Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing)

If you've already created your flowchart you can cut/paste
or drag the autoshapes onto the drawing canvas to work with
it there.
