Re: How do I get a connection point to the middle of a shape in ppt

Ah, thanks for prompting me, Martin. I wasn't thinking about, say, the
middle of a circle or something along those lines.

I think you have to fudge that, yeah.

In 2007 is there still no way of finding (and creating a connection point
at) the centre of a circle except by fudging it?

In PPT 2003 and prior, you have to fake it.
http://www.pptworkbench.com/html/connectors.htm (Don't miss the
additional links at the top of the page --- connectors 2, 3 and 4.)

In 2007, you can add points to shapes. Use the "convert shape to
freeform" option on the Drawing Tools Format tab, and then right-click
and choose Edit Points, then right-click and add a point where you want
it.

In future, please type your question in the message body area of the
posting window. Thanks.
