Missing connectors menu, have flowchart symbols only

[Tim]

Running Office 2000 on Win98. I am trying to draw a flowchart, but I can
only find the flowchart symbols. I cannot find the flowchart connector menu.
I have tried starting from the Draw toolbar, the draw pop-up menu, and from
miscellaneous pull-down menus up top (all the places I use from other PCs
with Office XP Pro, and Office XP Small Business); but I only ever see the
flowchart symbols.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Word 2000 doesn't have flowchart connectors. You can fake them by drawing
lines between the flowchart shapes. See

Command on the AutoShapes Menu" for more info.

Hi Tim,

Garfield-n-oldie's reply is correct only with the Standard
Edition of Office 2000, which had only 1 CD.
To enable the connectors in Office 2000 for other
Editions install the MS Draw 98 option from
the Office Tools Category from the Office 2000 CD #2
and then use
Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing
(or Insert=>Object=>MS Draw 98 Drawing)

The connectors work only within the MS Draw 98v2 canvas
within MS Word 2000.
