I've now discovered that I can get some cort of curvy linear arrows by using
the Autoshape connectors, and this wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact
that the curved connecting arrows default to an 'S' shaped curve, whereas I
only want a simple arc. By manipulating the yellow adjustment handle I still
don't seem to be able to get a proper arc shape - it just moves the unwanted
bend in the curve.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

A

The basic shapes in Autoshapes has a curved line. It is a simple arc.
I have a method of using text (WordArt) along a curved line. It is time
intensive, but if you have patience it will work. Scroll way to the bottom.
There is a PDF file.
