Hi, I am typing some text and doing diagram,s and want to use connectors between the boxes using the one-to-many symbols, ie something like the one-to-many symbols you would see in a relationship in Access, or the = sign on its side for one and the crow's feet for many.  Is there anything like that in the symbols and, if so, what section would I find them in.  Also, where are the connectors in Word - is it the lines under Shapes?  Many thanks.

Connectors are found in the Insert tab > Illustrations group > Shapes drop down > Lines section.  The first 3 entries are just lines, then come 6 types of connectors, and 3 more lines.

You have to use a "Drawing Canvas" to contain the shapes for connectors to work, as described in this tip:
