Thank you, that worked. However, is there a way I can enable the drawing
canvas without going to Insert-Picture-New Drawing, *then* putting in the
flowchart stuff?

Connectors are available only when you are using a drawing canvas. If you
have this option disabled, use Insert | Picture | New Drawing to get one.

Hi, I'm using Office XP Standard. Windows XP Pro, SP2

I do the following to make a flowchart in Word.
1. Insert-Picture-Autoshapes-Flowchart
2. I did one, then the Autoshapes box popped up, so I did another one.

However, then I wanted to join them together. I clicked on "connectors"
in
the auto shape box, but they're all grayed out.

Anyone know why my connectors might be grayed out? Better yet, how to get
them back? I've reinstalled Office and rebooted.
