MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Breaking a free form line
I have drawn a freeform line on one slide (a boundary that sits on top of a map showing restrictions of movement) and now want to copy it into another slide and then 'break' it in two or three places (to show how a different category of person can access through the boundary in these places). As the line is long and complex, I don't want to have to re-draw it. Is there a way I can select two of the points (using the Edit Points tool) and then delete that segment? Thanks Don't think you can do this easily in ppt. You can however make two or more copies and delete different end points from each to make ywo shapes which fit together. Hope that makes sense  SignatureDid that answer the question / help? ___________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > I have drawn a freeform line on one slide (a boundary that sits on top of a > map showing restrictions of movement) and now want to copy it into another [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks Thanks, John, this is what I have resorted to doing.

Then you can use the pathfinder to break up the line and then export it as a WMF. When you bring the WMF into Powerpoint, it comes in as a picture but if you just ungroup it, it becomes a shape again. You just have to delete the extra junk like the bounding box, etc. > Thanks, John, this is what I have resorted to doing. It just seems a very > messy (not to say longwinded) way of doing things.
