Once you’ve added a shape, you can change its style, fill, outline color, and effects.
Select a shape.
When you select a shape, the Format tab in the Drawing Tools ribbon group becomes available. Double-click a shape to automatically switch to the Format tab.
Use the Shape Styles options on the Format tab to change the style, fill color, outline, or shape effects.
Select a style from the Shape Styles gallery or click the gallery’s More button to see all available styles.
Select a shape fill color to change the color of the selected shape. You can also fill it with a gradient, picture, or texture pattern.
Select a shape outline color, weight, or dash pattern.
Apply various shape effects such as shadow, reflection, glow, bevel, and 3D rotation.
You can first apply a preset style from the gallery and then adjust the fill, outline, and effects to customize it.
You can also add text to shapes. Banners and callouts are best suited for text, but any shape can have text added to it.
Select a shape.
Type some text.
The text appears inside the shape and can be formatted just like any other text.
Apply basic font formatting by using the Font and Paragraph groups on the Home tab or apply WordArt styles using the Format tab in the Drawing Tools ribbon group.
