Using QuickShapes
QuickShapes are pre-designed objects that you can instantly add to your page,
then adjust and morph into a variety of further QuickShapes. QuickShapes are
added from a flyout containing a wide variety of commonly used shapes,
including boxes, arrows, hearts, spirals and other useful symbols.
Morphing to new shapes can be carried out as you add the QuickShape to the
page via the QuickShape Creator dialog or anytime after adding to the page.
To create a QuickShape:
1. Click the down arrow on the QuickShape button on the
Drawing toolbar, then select a shape from the flyout. The button takes
on the icon of the shape you selected.
2. At your chosen cursor position, either:
• Click and drag on the page to draw out your QuickShape to a
chosen size (use the Shift key to lock the aspect ratio; the Ctrl key
to scale from its centre point; or both together).
