Hi eNGiNe,



Both images look to me like they're Word tables, not Excel worksheets embedded in a Word document. If you embed an Excel worksheet in your document, the connectors can be inserted directly into that, in which case they become (and remain) part of the embedded object's layer.

You're right, of course: it's not an embedded Excel table, just a copy/paste. What I still don't know is:

• where to get hold of the drawing tools in 2010
• whether I can draw on top of a table

JMO but, I believe the drawing tools used are from PowerPoint (or similar software) just by the way they are drawn. One clue is the first arrow (top/left) where the arrowhead goes behind the table (the arrowhead is cropped off just a bit). There are other indicatiors of that as well if you look real close (looks like none of the arrow lines are "one continuous line"...they are multiple lines placed together to appear as one line). I am not aware of any drawing tools in Word 2010.

Have you had a look at Insert|Shape?


Yes, you can.
