Hi Cal,

You can add points to the rectangles or any objects. (This is also on pg. 798 in the \
StarOffice Companion, w/pictures of the icons etc.)

- Select the object.
- Make sure you're viewing the object bar and option bar. (View > Toolbars.)
- At the bottom left corner of the work area, find and click the Edit Glue Points \
                icon so it's recessed.
- The Edit Glue Points icons will appear in the object bar at the top of the work \
                area at the left side.
- Click the Insert Glue Point icon at the far left of the object bar and click on the \
object to add a glue point. Use the other icons if necessary to modify glue points.
