INTRODUCTION

Rather than drawing your own shapes on your slides, you can choose from dozens of predrawn shapes, called AutoShapes . Among the AutoShapes catalog, you can find callout shapes, block arrows, and basic shapes, such as triangles .

TIP

Setting a Fill Color

You can set the fill color or line style for the AutoShape before drawing it on the slide. To do so, click the Fill Color button on the Drawing toolbar to change the fill color, or click the Line Color and Line Style buttons to change line color or style (for help, see the preceding task). You can now draw an AutoShape using your selections. You can also apply formatting options to a shape you have already created.

TIP

Adding Text to an AutoShape

Most AutoShapes allow you to add text within the shape. To do so, choose an AutoShape as you did in steps 1 “3, click on the slide where you want to insert the shape, then start typing the text you want to appear.

TIP

Deleting an AutoShape

To remove an AutoShape object from a slide, click to select the object, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

TIP

Editing an AutoShape

If you double-click an AutoShape, the Format AutoShape dialog box opens, enabling you to make changes to the shape's fill color or line style.
