Reshape a shape

Applies to: Microsoft Office Excel 2003, FrontPage 2003, PowerPoint 2003, Word 2003

 
  1. Select the AutoShape (AutoShapes: A group of ready-made shapes that includes basic shapes, such as rectangles and circles, plus a variety of lines and connectors, block arrows, flowchart symbols, stars and banners, and callouts.).

If the shape has a yellow adjustment handle (adjustment handle: A diamond-shaped handle used to adjust the appearance but not the size of most AutoShapes. For example, you can adjust a rounded rectangle to be more or less rounded.), it can be reshaped. Some shapes do not have adjustment handles and can only be resized.

  1. Position the mouse pointer over the yellow adjustment handle.

  1. Hold down the mouse button and drag the handle to change the shape.
