I'm confused by our disparate experience since I'm pretty sure I
investigated these in Word 2002 and they were the same as in Word 2003, but I could of course be wrong. I'm also curious as to how you get a pentagon out of a block arrow (or vice versa). FWIW, the block arrows in my cycle diagram cannot be rotated. -- Suzanne S.
