I want to create shape by combining/grouping straight & lines
I would like to be able to combine/group straight and curved lines such that
PP recognizes it as a shape that I can then fill with a color...I basically trying to build a circular model with several wedges that I can type labels onto and then use multi media to animate each sub shape of this circular model...Sounds complicated. I wish I could paste into this a sample. email me and I will send you a bitmap of what I am trying to build myself....Thanks to anyone who can help... |

Ungroup it, delete the bits you don't want and enjoy your wedgie with what's left ;-) If that doesn't get you there quickly, skip directly to AutoShapes, Lines, FREEFORM. Draw what you want as a series of straight lines (click for each vertex, don't drag). Then use Edit Points to convert some of the lines/vertices to curves or corner points. Takes a little getting used to, but I think it'll be exactly what you need. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Living in the Help Center at PowerPoint Live Sept 21-24, San Diego CA, USA www.pptlive.com |
