PowerPoint - Look for the Diamond to Change the Shape of Your Shape
By Bob S (7 posts -- read other by posts Bob S)
When adding a drawing object to a PowerPoint presentation, follow these easy steps and you can create and format any one of the shapes.
Most AutoShapes are made up of several polygons. For example, a Block Arrow is really a rectangle and a triangle. PowerPoint provides a yellow diamond with the drawn object. This yellow diamond allows you to change the relative perspective of either of the two polygons. If an AutoShape is made up of more than two polygons, there will be more than one diamond.
1. Select your object from the drawing toolbar (Double-click to draw more than one of the object).
2. Move the cursor to where you want the object to appear.
3. Drag the mouse to draw the object. Hold the shift key down while drawing to maintain symmetry/alignment.
4. Use the yellow diamond to change the relative perspective of Auto Shapes.
5. Right-click on the object and select Format from the menu to change any attribute of the object.
