The Shape Format tab appears when you select a shape, a line, a group, or several objects at once. Use it to draw, color, and arrange them.
- Insert Shapes: draw a shape, change a shape into another one, edit its points, or draw a text box. See Draw shapes and lines.
- Shape Styles: choose a style, a fill, an outline, and effects such as shadow and glow. See Draw shapes and lines.
- Lines: draw a line, an arrow, or a double arrow. See Draw shapes and lines.
- Arrange: wrap text, change the stacking order, group, align, and rotate. See Move, align, group, and layer objects and Wrap text around objects.
- Size: type an exact height and width. See Move, align, group, and layer objects.
