CALLOUT BOXES - LOOKING FOR MULTI-LEGGED CALLOUT BOX

[Guest]

Does anyone know where to find and how to import a multi-legged callout box
for PowerPoint? The only ones offered in the application (PP 2003) in the
Autoshapes drop down have a single leg.

Thx in advance

Does anyone know where to find and how to import a multi-legged callout box
for PowerPoint? The only ones offered in the application (PP 2003) in the
Autoshapes drop down have a single leg.

How about drawing one, duping it, lining the two back up and then dragging the
leg of the second one to wherever else you want it?

Might want to group the two after you've got them just the way you want them.

You can create a callout box with as many 'legs' as you want, ...well...sort
of anyway.

On the draw menu, click on AutoShapes => Line => Freeform
Draw the callout shape of the callout you want, double clicking to close the
shape.

While this shape does not have the nifty little yellow handles to drag and
reshape it as you wish, it does have the shape you need.

Alternately, you can overlay several callout boxes (this works best on
callouts without outlines).
