Drawing lines to connect text boxes: I am working in Word 2016. I have a number of text has with text in them. I have tried all the variations of formatting through canvass, shapes, and the like - none of them work and each time I try to connect, an error message pops up in some cases that the text box is empty or it is full.

I do not want text to flow from one box to another. I do not want funny shapes. All I want to do is draw lines.

The amount of verbiage to arrive at this simple task is overwhelming and confusing because none of the verbiage addresses this in a simple manner

At this stage it is way easier to print the document off, draw the lines with the old fashioned pencil and ruler and scan it back in.
