148 Lines, Shapes, and Effects
(Tab only) For calligraphic lines of variable width (drawn
as if with a square-tipped pen held at a certain angle),
select the calligraphic line style (opposite) from the dropdown
menu, then use the Calligraphic Angle box to set
the angle of the pen tip, as depicted in the examples
below.
You can also vary a line's Cap (end) and the Join (corner) where two lines
intersect.
Drawing and editing shapes
QuickShapes are pre-designed objects of widely varying shapes that you can
instantly add to your page.
Once you've drawn a QuickShape, you can morph its original shape using
control handles, and adjust its properties—for example, by applying gradient or
bitmap fills (including your own bitmap pictures!) or apply transparency effects.
Another way to create a shape is to draw a line (or series of line segments) and
then connect its start and end nodes, creating a closed shape.
