How can I add additional connector (glue) points to a shape in word or powerpoint?


How can I add additional connector points to a shape in word or powerpoint?


In openoffice draw these are called glue points.


What I want in ms powerpoint:

What I can do in open office draw:

UPDATE: Based on Steve Rindsberg's answer I did this: Draw a rectangle, then a second one. Make the second rectangle very small and move it over, then behind the first rectangle. Then group them. I guess this is actually a functioning workaround for my question, even though it is not what I wanted to hear. Accepting the answer...

Answer



You can't add more glue points but you can draw an additional shape with glue points where you want them then group it with the first shape.


[Returning years later for an edit]


Now if you right-click the border of a shape and choose Edit Points, you can add new points to the shape; these become glue points that connector lines and such will snap to.
