Can't get connectors to work from drawing toolbar.
Create Flowchart shapes and then go to add connectors and
they draw as shapes. Try same thing in PowerPoint or
Excel and it works. Am I missing something??

Hi Summer,

In Word 2002 the active connectors only have the active function
when you work inside of a MS Drawing Canvas or MS Draw Object.

You can use Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing to open a Canvas and place
your flowchart shapes and connectors within the canvas.

driving me mad me for some time.
