Format Shape Dialogue

2. Try it: Review the Options

The formatting choices are listed in categories on the left side of the Dialogue box. The list includes many of the formats we applied with the Drawing Group on the Home Ribbon.

 

By default, a Text Box is a simple Shape. There is No fill.

 

You can format the Text Box by selecting a category and making your choices. The Live Preview lets you see your choices immediately.

 
Let's try something that isn't available on the Home Ribbon.

 

Keep going, please...
