Chapter 7 when working with drawn shapes.
PowerPoint sees a text box as an AutoShape without the "shape"-that is, a frame around a shape that doesn't have any line or fill. You can apply an AutoShape to any text box (actually PowerPoint calls it "changing" the shape) to use an AutoShape as a frame around the text.
| Note | In Chapter 7 you'll learn how you can add text to an AutoShape; this is the flip side of that. Actually, the results you get are the same either way; you can start with the text box or with the AutoShape. The advantage of starting with the text box is that you can apply an AutoShape to either a text placeholder or a manual text box. The AutoShape-first method always produces a manual text box. |
To apply an AutoShape to a text box, follow these steps:
Select the text box.
On the Drawing toolbar, choose Draw⇨Change AutoShape and then select a category of shape and a specific shape. The shape is applied to the text box, but you won't be able to see it yet.
Use the Line Color button on the Drawing toolbar to select a line color for the AutoShape. And/or, use the Fill Color button on the Drawing toolbar to select a fill color for it. Figure 5-28 shows an example of both a line and fill color assigned to a subtitle placeholder on a title slide that has an AutoShape arrow applied to it.

To remove the AutoShape, simply set its border and shading to No Line and No Fill, respectively.
