# Adjusting Tails

Position balloon tails near faces and heads to associate them with the person speaking or thinking.

To position a balloon tail:
1. Click on the balloon whose tails you want to adjust.

   Blue and red handles will appear on the tails.

2. To adjust the endpoint on the tail click on the blue handle and drag it to the new position.

   The balloon tail grows or shrinks to maintain the connection with the bubble.

3. To adjust the curvature of the balloon tail click on the red handle and drag it to a new position.

   The tail curves around the red handle.

4. To adjust the kink in the curvature click and drag the associated curve control handles beside the red handle.

   These control the shape of the curve passing through the red handle.

Tip: When positioning balloon tails it is good practice to not have the tail go right up to the character's mouth. Think of the tail as a curved arrow pointing to the source of the words. Let the curvature of the tail indicate the right person.
