MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / December 2003Annotating an Autoshape chart in Word 2003
I have designed a flow chart using "Autoshapes". I can insert text in the various boxes but cannot find a way of adding next above the various decision arrows that link the boxes. Can anyone help? Jerry Hi Lcs, > I have designed a flow chart using "Autoshapes". I can insert text in the various boxes but cannot find a way of adding next above the various decision arrows that link the boxes. Use the TextBox drawing tool?

Click the Text Box tab and set the margins to zero. Click the Colors and Lines tab and set No Line, No Fill (this will let you move the text box close to the connecting lines without obscuring them). Make the text boxes just large enough to contain the text. Fine tune the text box position by selecting it, then pressing the Ctrl key while you nudge it with the arrow keys (or press Alt while dragging). >-----Original Message----- >Hi Lcs, [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >. > To add to the text box suggestion, create a text box, then > click Format > Text Box.

I am getting the hang of it. I noticed other students in my class had very good diagrams with "yes" and "no" above the various choice lines & I want to do something similar.

Once you have created a Yes and a No, you can then copy either by holding down the Control key and dragging a copy to a new location: so it is quick and simple to achieve. For accurate positioning, select the Yes or No and move with the arrow key or the Nudge command.
