So, I am not getting the arrow either in the default template or my
organization's template.

Forgot to mention. I am using the default template, Basic flowchart.

I closed Visio, opened it again, opened a new drawing, set the Format--Line
option to display an arrow, created two shapes, and used Shapes--Connect
Shapes. It is still a line. :-(

If you start a new Basic Flowchart diagram and draw a connector, does it
have an arrow on it? If so we need to figure out how that shape is
different from one you get in your template.

Hi,

I tried that too. Did not work.

I have tried the following:
1) Without selecting anything on the page, set the Format--Line option
2) Format--Define Style

I can only do the following:
1) Drag the conenctor from the Shapes pane on the left.
2) Manually format each line

I would like to be able to conenct shapes using the Shape--Connect Shapes
option. It just gives me a line and not an arrow.

Please help. I am working on a project that involves a lot of flowcharts
and
this is driving me crazy.

You may need to make the change in the Connector style for the document.
Look in Format Define Styles.

news I tried that. However, when I use the connector tool in the toolbar or
when
I
click Shape--Connect Shapes, I still get a line and not an arrow.

If you open the Drawing Window, then expand the Masters node, and
double-click Dynamic connector - then you will be able to edit the
default
appearance for the connector. When finished, just close the edit
window
and
carry on using the Connector Tool.

Hi, I too am facing the same issue.

1) If I choose the arrow connector from the Shapes window (where I
have
saved the arrow conenctor), I can use it as an arrow.
2) When I choose the 'Connector Tool' from the tool bar, I only get
a
line,
and not an arrow. I can change the properties of the line and get
the
arrow
after I draw the line. I tried to set the default setting of the
line
from
the menu Format-Line. It still does not work.
It is tedious to change the property of every line, or to drag from
the
Shapes window.
I would like to use the 'Conenctor Tool' to draw arrows directly.
Please help.

I am creating a new flow chart and can't get the "format" "line"
function
to
create arrows at the end of my lines when I create them. The
"format"
settings indicate that I have an arrow, but not when I draw the
line.
As I
recall, the older version of VISIO was easier to set up in this
regard.

I have a lot of flow charting to do today - HELP!
