Change One Shape to Another in PowerPoint 365 for Windows

Like many things in life, shapes can often look very similar to one another. This can lead to accidentally using the wrong shape for a project, which can translate to loss of time and frustration. For example, you may create a 5-pointed star when you needed a star with 4 or 8 points. Or you may have worked on a shape and applied effects, animations, and fills to it, only to later realize that you used the wrong shape or that the client wants a different shape. In cases like this, you may think it’s best to delete the existing shape and start over again. Well, there is an easier option that changes existing shapes.

Flip Shapes in PowerPoint for the Web

The shape on your slide looks perfect. However, if you feel like your slide design is a little too same-old, one way to change it up is to flip your shapes! This simple change can give your design a whole new look while still staying on brand and within the bounds of your slide content. So next time you’re looking for a quick refresh, try flipping your shapes.
