In this chapter, you learned how to draw lines and shapes, and how to format almost any type of object. You'll use these skills as you go forward in the rest of the book learning about specific types of objects, including SmartArt, clip art, and so on. No matter what type of graphic you encounter, you'll be able to format it using these same techniques.
In the next chapter, you'll learn how to create and format SmartArt diagrams, which are new PowerPoint 2007 diagrams that combine the best of a bulleted list with the best of drawn objects to present text data in an interesting way.
