How to add a 'second elbow' to an 'elbow arrow connector' in Powerpoint 2007?
- by ricebowl
I'm trying to put together a relatively complex flow-chart thing -as part of a University assignment (health-related, and gosh, does my university love all things Microsoft Office...).
Because of the way the chart progresses I have to connect two objects with a 'double elbow' version of the 'elbow arrow connector.' I accept that perhaps this complexity means I should redesign the chart, but I've tried and failed to simplify things already.
If you'll pardon my ASCII art, this is what I have:
+----------------+
| 1 |
| |
+-------+--------+
|
|
+-------+--------+ /\
|2 +--------|-----/ 3\
+----------------+ \ /
\/
Shape 1 should connect to shape 3, currently the line doing so passes behind shape 2.
The diagram below shows what I'd prefer, and, frankly, what I need to happen.
+----------------+
| 1 |
| |
+-------+--------+
|
+-----------+
+----------------+ | /\
|2 | +--/ 3\
+----------------+ \ /
\/
Having explored the various right-click options I'm either being blind and not seeing it, or...well, I'm hoping it's just me being blind and/or stupid, frankly.
If anyone has any suggestions they'd be gratefully received. I'm working with WinXP and Office 2007 (at the university, I run on Ubuntu at home, which possibly explains why I'm missing something potentially simple)...
