Dit artikel is voorlopig in het Engels.

Shapes give a slide structure: boxes, circles, arrows and speech bubbles. Any shape can also hold a picture, cut to its outline.

Steps

  1. 1Open Insert → Shapes and click a shape, or press Shift+R for a rectangle and Shift+O for a circle.
  2. 2With the shape selected, use Fill colour, Border colour, Border style and width and Corner radius.
  3. 3To put a picture inside, click Fill colour, open the Picture tab and choose Upload, Gallery or Generate.
  4. 4Adjust Zoom, Across and Down to place the picture in the shape.
  5. 5Change shape swaps the shape and keeps its colours and text.

Good to know

  • Free-form shapes of an opened PowerPoint file or an Ultra reference are kept with their own outline, and so are pictures cut to them.
  • They are drawn the same in the editor, the PDF and the PowerPoint export.
  • Choosing a shape in Change shape or Crop to shape replaces a free-form outline.
  • Double-click a shape with a label to type in it.
