Shapes are the building blocks of whatever you create in PowerPoint. In fact, even a text box that you add to your slide is essentially a shape with a No Fill attribute. Once you get proficient with shapes, you can do so much more. For example, you can combine multiple shapes to create fancier shapes. However, you need to start with the very basics, and there’s so much to learn even at this foundation level. The first task you need to do is to insert a shape. Fortunately, PowerPoint makes it easy to do this task.

Look at this picture carefully because there’s more here than what meets the eye. This is a dashboard view of a car that could have been sold fifty years ago, but in many ways, cars still provide dashboards that may not look similar–but still do provide the information that a driver needs. You can see the speed, can find out how much fuel is left, and also know how many miles or kilometers the car has driven.

And in many ways, PowerPoint can help you create dashboards outside the realm of your car, that can provide you with continuously-updated information–valuable information that can change the way you work, and take decisions.
