Is it possible to create Visio-style connectors in PowerPoint, where a
connector will make a little jump over any connector it crosses over to
which it is not supposed to be attached? I'm working on a slide that
requires such lines between objects, and I can't figure out how to do
it within PowerPoint.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Scott

Dont think so but you can use different colours, dashes etc to differentiate
and also send backwards / forwards

Thanks for the workarounds. I suppose it's a choice of using one of
the options you mention or doing the diagram in Visio, then embedding
the Visio diagram in PowerPoint.

If anyone from Microsoft is reading this: Can you please make
Visio-style connectors an option in PowerPoint? Please? I mean,
they're both Microsoft products....

Thanks,
Scott

How about using the arc tool to draw the jumps?
