Connection point stays green when connecting shapes.

P

In Visio 2003 Professional I try to connect some shapes but whatever I do,
no shape to shape connection will be made. The connection points stay green
and when I move a shape, the lines will be a mess.
What is strange that there are shape to shape connections in the drawing (I
am modifying an existing one) but when these connections are modified, they
are changes to point-to-point or shape-to-point connections (the connection
point turns green even when trying to connect to another shape).
No doubt this is a simple matter of selecting the right setting but I have
no clue and the suggestions from Help are of no use.
I am connecting Processes in a Basic Flowchart (Metric).

Hmm, your glue might be off. Try Tools > Snape & Glue and look in the third
column.

Also, there's a toolbar called Snap & Glue that has a button with a red-dot
that lets you turn glue on/off conveniently.

Check the glue settings dialog box in the tools menu. Verify that the glue
checkbox is checked.
