Curved arrow

Hi Natasha

I wonder if the tactic your colleague was using was based on modifying a freeform shape.

First draw a simple freeform shape ( from the same Insert > Shape menu as regular arrows - just hover over the shapes in Recently used until you find “freeform" then draw a short line. It’s usually just before the line types.

With the line selected go back to the format ribbon and click the Edit shape menu, then choose Edit points

Now you can click one of the end points and whilst holding down the mouse drag the end point. A blue line appears. This line can be tilted to adjust the curve of the line. It is a bit fiddly but the curve should be smoother.

Finally format the line type to include an arrowhead.

Let me know if this helps at all.

Kind regards,
Andrew
