PPT: Scaling Lines and Arrowheads (95817)

RESOLUTION

To change the size of the arrowhead, change the width of the line. When you choose a lighter or heavier line style, the arrowhead size adjusts accordingly.

However, if you want to change the proportions of the arrowhead, or if you want to reduce or enlarge the arrow, use the following workaround:

1. Select the arrow you want to reduce.
2. On the Edit menu, click Cut.
3. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
4. The Paste dialog box appears. Click Picture and then click Paste.

The arrow appears in a box as a picture. You can now scale it up or down by dragging inward or outward on the corners of the box.

This workaround converts the arrowhead from an object to a picture. You will no longer be able to rotate the line, change the line style, or remove or add arrowheads.
