Add control points to straight elbow connector?

B

Bongo

Hello

I have three boxes along a horizontal line and need to have an arrow going
from the right side of box 1 to the left side of box 3--preferably not going
straight through box 2! Is there any way to get control points to show up on
the elbow connector?

The elbow (or curve) connector degenerates to a straight line with no
control points when i connect the two boxes.

Any ideas?

Tx in advance.

Just tried in 2007. I thought that the freeform tool would connect up with
the shapes but it didn't! The only way I can see (works in 2003 too) is to
have three sets of connectors joined up by a further invisible shape (no line
/ fill)

I can see that this isn't easy to imagine so I have uploaded a demo (leaving
the extra shape visible) http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/connect3.zip
