Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for the arrowheads and line widths.

Lines can be of varying thickness and can have arrowheads at either or both ends.

To create:

Arrowheads

 * 1) Draw a line with the line tool. To have a single arrowhead, draw the line in the direction you want it to point.
 * 2) Choose the arrowhead from Arrowheads on the Draw Menu.

To set:

Line Widths

 * 1) Select the line.
 * 2) Choose a new width from the Line Style submenu on the Draw menu.

More Information:

Arrowhead sizes and line widths are proportional. To remove an arrowhead, select the line, then choose the plain (no-arrowhead) line at the top of the Arrowheads submenu.

To change the direction of the arrowhead, select the line, put the pointer on either of the resize handles, hold down the CTRL key, and drag to rotate the line. To reverse the direction 180 degrees, hold down the SHIFT+CTRL keys and drag either resize handle to the opposite line end.
