Visio 2003 - Connector endpoints will not turn red
Normally when I use the connector tool to connect shapes, I drag from one
connection point to another and the connector endpoints turn red and the shapes stay connected. Suddenly today, I can no longer connect shapes this way. When I drag from one connection point to another, the endpoints stay green. How do I get them to turn red again so the shapes stay connected? I figured out I can highlight a shape, then click the connector tool, and drag a new shape onto my page and these will be connected, but I am unable to connect existing shapes! Thanks, Mark

Visio 2003 - Connector endpoints will not turn red
Visio 2003
I cannot reproduce it. Except for the background pages which have no headers nor footers. I just discovered that it is possible and easier to add headers and footers in the Print Preview. If your problem does persist, publish the drawing to visguy.com.

Visio 2003 - Connector endpoints will not turn red
Thanks - the Snap & Glue solved my problem. There must be some super secret
hotkey for turning that on & off, as I did not use the 'Tools : Snap and Glue' screen to turn it off at any point. It was working one second, and not working the next. Oh well, now I know. Thanks again!

F9, is the culprit. I could not find the keyboard shortcuts in the regular Visio help, so http://www.visiocafe.com/downloads/M...-Visio2002.vsd "Mark" wrote: Thanks - the Snap & Glue solved my problem.
