THE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH SERIES © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. THE PROFESSIONAL APPROACH SERIES © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Lesson 4 Summary—1 PowerPoint provides a variety of objects that you can use to enhance the visual appearance of your slides. These include shapes, text boxes, clip art, and pictures. PowerPoint’s drawing tools enable you to create a variety of shapes including squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, and straight lines drawn at any angle. To draw a shape, from the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click the Shapes button, choose a shape, and then drag diagonally on your slide to create the shape in the size you need. If you don’t like a shape you drew, select it and press to remove it from your slide, or press to undo the action.

Lesson 4 Summary—2 Press while drawing a line or other shape to constrain it. Constraining a shape makes it perfectly symmetrical, for example, a circle or a square, or it can make a line perfectly straight. Press while drawing a shape to make it grow in size from the center instead of from one edge. Change the size of a drawn object by dragging one of its sizing handles (small white circles on its border) with a two-pointed arrow. To preserve an object’s proportions when resizing it, hold down while dragging a corner sizing handle. Move a drawn object by pointing to it and when the four- pointed arrow appears, drag the object to a new position.

WordArt enables you to create special effects with text that are not possible with standard text-formatting tools. WordArt is modified by using the WordArt Styles and Text Effects to change its appearance in many different ways using tools on the Drawing Tools Format tab.
