Quizmaker 360: Formatting Shapes, Captions, and Text Boxes
After adding a shape, caption, or text box, use Quizmaker 360's drawing tools to quickly customize it. Select the object you want to customize, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, then use any of these tools.
Change Shape |
Click this button and choose one of the shapes listed to switch to a different shape. (This applies only to shapes and captions.) |
Shape Styles |
The preset shape styles let you quickly change the appearance of an object. Click one of the thumbnails in the drop-down to apply it to the selected object. |
Shape Fill |
Use this drop-down to change the object's fill. See the guidelines below.
|
Shape Outline |
Use this drop-down to change the object's outline. See the guidelines below.
|
Shape Effects |
Click this option to add a shadow, reflection, glow, or soft edges to the selected object. See the guidelines below.
|
Bring Forward Send Backward |
Click these options to bring the object forward or send it backward one layer on your slide. To send it to the very front or back of the slide, click the drop-down arrow next to either choice and select Bring to Front or Send to Back. Tip: Another way to change the layer order of objects is to use the timeline. All the elements in the timeline are listed in the same order in which they're layered on the slide—in other words, the topmost item in the list is the closest to the front (or top) of the slide. To change the order, just select an item on the timeline and drag it up or down in the list. |
Align |
Use this drop-down to align objects with with the slide or with one another.
|
Group |
Grouping is a handy way to move, resize, rotate, flip, or change other attributes of several objects all at the same time—as if they were a single object. To group objects, Shift+click two or more objects, then choose Group to group them. To ungroup objects, choose Ungroup. To regroup items that were previously part of a group, choose Regroup. |
Rotate |
Use this option to rotate selected objects. Choose one of the rotation options or click More Rotation Options to enter a specific rotation value. |
Height Width |
Use these fields to enter a specific height and width in pixels. (You can also resize an object by dragging its sizing handles.) |
