Real Men Have Curves
Leaving aside the question of why I'm trying to create diagrams of cells when I'm not an graphic artist and I don't understand cell biology...does anyone know how to automatically make curvy lines in PowerPoint? The software is oddly insistent that what I really want to make is an S-curve, not a C-curve. I would kill to be able to make a C-curve. Or just to bend a curved line in any direction other than the one PowerPoint wants it to go. Or to draw one freehand that doesn't look like it was done by a three-year-old.
I am so not qualified to do this and MS Help just laughs in my loser face when I look for information on this or any other subject. It would be funny if it were not my job.

Go to menu icon for lines. Select either of the three squiggly line options. Then go to your slide and draw. The trickfor the first option (which produces the most controlled lines) is that you have to click your mouse to end a squiggle and continue the line in a new direction. The other two options are more like drawing with a pencil but the finished product is less clean. If you use those, I find they look better when you thicken the lines. Good luck! Jeffrey
Your boss knows what he knows....
But you know Software which they may consider to be a unified foreign landscape that you lord it over. :)
So just make it so.
why can't you just make a 2 C curves, and flip/rotate it?
Thanks to all -- the first e-mail actually came within five minutes of my posting this, and the right answer was right at my fingertips. It's never as hard as you think it is, is it?
I almost posted again today, asking how to turn a three-variable table into a bar graph, but I decided to play with that one on my own and the results were great.
