add connectors to custom stencil

[bkelly13]

My company has a group license for Visio but no documentation. Barns & Noble has no books at all on Visio and my searches are not fruitful.

I want to have some flow chart decision symbols with the exit points labeled Yes and No. I made some, but I cannot figure out how to add connectors. The help files tell me a lot about them, but I cannot find anything that says: "To add a connector to a stencil, slect this button and ..."

How do I add connectors to my custom stencils?

Thank you,
bkelly

A quick look in Visio Help (which should be in your default installation) shows this:

Work with connection points
Add a connection point to a shape

Select a shape.
Click the Connection Point tool .
Note If the Connection Point tool isn't visible, click the down arrow next to the Connector tool, and then click the Connection Point tool.

Press CTRL and click the selected shape.
Note Be sure the shape is selected before you add the connection point. The selected shape has a green, dashed border. Connection points are created only for the selected shape, even if the pointer is positioned over a different shape.
