Curved linear arrows

[Anglepoise]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to create curved linear arrows on a type of flow diagram
I'm creating, but I only seem to be able to do this using the Autoshapes
'connectors'. This wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact that the curved
connecting arrows default to an 'S' shaped curve, whereas I only want a
simple arc. By manipulating the yellow adjustment handle I still don't seem
to be able to get a proper arc shape - it just moves the unwanted bend in the
curve.

Any suggestions??

Many thanks,

A

Hi Anglepoise,

You didn't mention the version of Word you're using, but depending on the behavior you're looking for you may want to use the Arc
shape rather than one of the active connectors.

The active connectors have a reroute feature, so that if you move one of the items it hot connects to, the shape of that line will
revise itself. A regular 'arc' shape can have connector ends/arrows/etc added to it by right clicking and choosing 'Format
autoshape' and you can group it with other autoshapes to keep it connected.
