Hi Charlie, We'll be looking forward to your Mac/PowerPoint 2008 report as to whether or not this works! This tool was submitted to me by a PowerPoint fan. I'm not planning to maintain it (or even look at the VBA code, HA!) Especially since I've a Visio version on this website: Circular Multi-arrows Visio Shape!

Hi, I wonder if this works also on PPT 2008 (vers. 12.2.6) for MAC?

Hi Serle, Thanks for the feedback, hopefully David Van Hemel is watching, since he created this for PowerPoint. I could probably implement a lot of these suggestions in Visio as well, in case you haven't seen the Visio-version: Circular Multi-arrows

great shape, some critical features that would be great top add:
1) radial alignment of text alignment. long text interferes with shape or circular space.
2) be able to rotate the circle so that one of the regions is centred at the top, without messing up the text alignment
3) be able to specify/leave white space between the circular arrows. e.g. have spacings of x degrees or a percentage of the arrow size or manually controlled unequal spacing.
4) manually size the segments so that one can have arrows of unequal sizes.

Hi, I love this idea but cannot get it to work with Office 2007 on Vista… I get Run-time error ’9′: Subscript out of range.

When I click debug it jumps to Ln 13, Col 5:
Sub ShowCircleOfArrowsForm()
frmConfig.Show
End Sub

Any suggestions?

Just to isolate variables here — if you have the “Circular Arrow Generator.ppt” file open, and do Alt-F8 to run macros, then choose the “ShowCircleOfArrowsForm” macro and run it, does that work? If it does, then the problem was somewhere in the toolbar modification steps. BTW, what version of PPT are you working in? (I wrote it in PPT 2003 under XP; have not tried it in newer versions of Office or Windoze.)

I have downloaded the presentation and added the menu item to my toolbar. But, nothing hapens when I click on the button. No form, no nothing. This is likely PEBKAC – any thoughts as to what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks.

Nice job. So when will you be updating the Visio version to include the curved text?
