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 after you add the
QuickShape to the page (or as you add by double-clicking on 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, 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).
New QuickShapes adopt the currently set line and fill in DrawPlus.
