Q

Modify objects

A

An object may be flipped horizontally or vertically, or rotated by dragging its green rotation handle. Vector clip art can be ungrouped so basic shapes can be customized, and then objects can be regrouped so they can be moved as one object. Pictures can be recolored by changing their color mode or by applying dark or light variations of a theme color or custom color.

Q

Arrange objects

A

Objects are stacked in layers. The object at the top of the layer is the one that fully displays, while other objects in the stack may have some portions blocked. The stacking order of shapes can be reordered so that objects can be seen as desired. Features such as rulers, grids, guides, align, and distribute can be used to arrange objects on a slide and arrange objects in relation to one another.
