Learn PowerPoint 2016 for Windows
Drawing Lines
Beyond being just a program to create slides, PowerPoint is also a great illustration program with tools and options that rival top end
graphic programs. Yes, you have learned how you can use readymade shapes in PowerPoint to place rectangles, circles, and hundreds of
other shapes. However, PowerPoint also has the ability to create shapes from scratch by drawing them. These drawing tools are
essentially the Line shapes that can be found within the Shapes gallery. This introductory tutorial shows you how to draw a simple line
on the slide.
Drawing Curved Lines
Drawing a simple straight, point to point line in PowerPoint 2016 is a piece of cake. Now, in this tutorial, we'll move on further
to show you how you can draw a curved line. With curved lines, you can create both open and closed shapes.
Drawing Freeform Lines
The Freeform drawing tool lets you draw anything almost like drawing with a pencil on a piece of paper. Also, you can create straight
lines; this dual capability of the Freeform tool provides you with more creative freedom. Significantly, it takes a while to master the
Freeform tool. Practice alone will make your attempts perfect!
Drawing Scribble Lines
Drawing with the Scribble line tool is almost the same as drawing with the Freeform line tool, but there is one vital difference. You
don't need to double click to create an end point for your line with the Scribble tool. Also, once you start drawing with the Scribble
tool, you can't release the mouse button until you finish drawing. So, you can't draw a perfect, straight line as you would do with the
Freeform line tool. The point where you release the mouse button will be the end point for the drawing.
