00:00:11.420 --> 00:00:14.210
One of the best ways to add color and interest
to

00:00:14.210 --> 00:00:17.450
your presentations is to add shapes.

00:00:17.450 --> 00:00:20.220
There are a lot of different shapes
to choose from,

00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:25.390
and they can be fully customized with
colors, effects, and Shape Styles.

00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:28.160
To get started, go to the Insert tab, and
then

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.960
click Shapes.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.090
And then just select the one that you want.

00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:36.610
I want the "No" symbol because it's going
to go on

00:00:36.610 --> 00:00:40.460
top of this paper towel clip art.

00:00:40.460 --> 00:00:43.630
Click on the shape, and then click and drag
on the

00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:47.820
slide, and the shape will appear.

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.830
And if it's not in exactly the right place,
then

00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:52.590
you can just click and drag to move it.

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:57.520
This shape is a little too big right now,
so I'm going to use the resizing handles

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.170
to make it a little bit smaller.

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:02.600
These are found on the sides and the corners
of

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.850
the shape.

00:01:04.850 --> 00:01:07.030
Every shape will also have a green handle
that you

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.010
can drag to rotate it.

00:01:10.010 --> 00:01:13.670
If it has a yellow handle, then you can use
that

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:16.310
to make other adjustments to the shape,

00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:21.280
but not every shape has that.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.490
This shape still isn't very exciting, so let's
start customizing it.

00:01:25.490 --> 00:01:29.539
With the shape selected, click on the Format
tab.

00:01:29.539 --> 00:01:34.320
The quickest way to customize a shape is by
choosing a Shape Style.

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:36.020
And you can click on the drop-down arrow to
view

00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:37.740
all of them.

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:42.210
These add colors and effects at the same time.

00:01:42.210 --> 00:01:47.920
I think I'll go with this reddish style.

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.500
This shape is done now,

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:54.679
and since we used a Shape Style it took almost
no time at all to make it look nice.

00:01:54.679 --> 00:01:57.700
You can also customize text boxes in the same
way

00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:00.789
because a text box is just a type of shape.

00:02:00.789 --> 00:02:03.840
But for this one, I have a very specific
look in mind,

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.000
so I'm going to customize the colors and
effects individually.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.819
And these options are found right next to
the

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:11.580
Shape Styles.

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:16.220
For the Shape Fill, I'd like this light beige
color.

00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:18.060
And for the outline, I want something that
will

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:22.660
match the "No" symbol on the right.

00:02:22.660 --> 00:02:26.150
Under Shape Effects,
there several different types,

00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:36.510
but I want to focus on the two different
types of 3-D effects: Bevel and 3-D Rotation.

00:02:36.510 --> 00:02:39.230
Bevel will add a kind of curved or grooved
edge to

00:02:39.230 --> 00:02:42.680
the shape.

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.730
And 3-D rotation makes it seem like you're
looking

00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:46.849
at the object from a different angle.

00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:49.330
I like to combine these two different effects
to

00:02:49.330 --> 00:02:54.180
get a kind of realistic look.

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.590
So for shapes and text boxes, it's totally
up to

00:02:56.590 --> 00:02:58.379
you whether you want use Shape Styles

00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:00.490
to quickly format the appearance,

00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:26.430
or if you want to really get into the details
by adding your own colors and effects.
