Connecting Shapes
If you want to show a relationship between two shapes, you can connect them with
a line by joining special handles called connection points.
To connect shapes:- Click one of the shapes you want to connect. Then on the Format tab, in the
Insert Shapes group, display the Shapes gallery, and under Lines, click one of
the Connector shapes. - Point to the selected shape.
Red connection points appear, and the pointer changes to a crosshair. - Point to a connection point, and then drag over to the other shape (don’t re-
lease the mouse button). - When connection points appear on the other shape, point to a connection
point, and release the mouse button.
Red handles appear at each end of the line, indicating that the shapes are
connected.
Troubleshooting If a blue handle appears instead of a red one, the shapes are
not connected. Click the Undo button on the Quick Access Toolbar to remove the
connection line, and then redraw it.
