Formatting Shapes

The color, effect and lines on an inserted shape can be modified to portray the general theme of the slide. Slides for example that discuss the accolades of an entity or individual can be accompanied by medal or star shapes. The se can them be adjusted to have a more award-type appearance.

To modify the color of the shape:

•tap on the shape

•select the tab for ‘Drawing Tools’/ ‘Format’

•Select the color desired in the “Shape Fill” option.

Users may also modify the color of the shape outline by tapping on the option for “Shape Effects”; choosing the effect most likely to create the look desired. Users also have the option of adjusting the transparency of the shape, to make the wording more legible. The option for “Line” can also be selected to remove the outline of the shape being used. The font, size and effects of the words in the text box inserted can also be formatted either for effect or for appropriateness. To alter the font, size or effect of the words in the boxes through the slide, simply:

Right click on the inside of the text box

Highlight the portion of the text you wish to adjust

Apply the change as is desired. The changes can include making the wording bolder, larger, smaller or applying italics for effect.

Note: The callout shapes have been so designed to accommodate texts being inserted. This makes editing text details easier. Users need only to right-click on the text and select the “Edit Text” option.

The shapes can also be moved to more ideal locations as seen fit. To move your inserted shape:

Tap on the shape

Click on the four way arrows to the top of the shape

Move the shape and place in the desired area of the slide.

The styles of the various shapes can also be adjusted. To modify these styles,

Tap on the ‘Format” tab to the top of the screen

Select the down-pointing arrow located to the right of the “Shape Styles” option

When the pane for the format shape is displayed on the right of screen, select the preferred option and apply.
