Powerpoint: Add Connection Point to Shape

Routing connections in Powerpoint works well only when the ends of the connector are attached to connection points. Connection points are usually only on the corners/vertices of the shapes and you often want to connect to a different location.

You can add your own connection points by doing the following:
  1. Click the shape that you want to add connection points to.
  2. Right click > Edit Points.
  3. Hover the mouse over the place where you want to create the connector. The mouse will change into cross hairs.
  4. Left click one time. DO NOT move the mouse.
  5. Right click > Add point.
You now have a new connector at that location.
