When you expand one of the choices, you’ll see that you have detailed control over each of the settings for that effect. You can see that the same set of effects that were available on the galleries are also on the Format Shape pane. For now let’s look at the Effects options. There are two tabs on this pane, the Fill & Line as well as the Effects options. It normally stays docked on the right of your workspace, but if you click and drag on the title of the pane you can undock the pane and put it wherever you want, even on a different monitor. This will bring up the Format Shape task pane. If you want to fine tune things and control every aspect of effects, you can click on Options at the bottom of any of the galleries, right-click on a shape and choose “Format Shape” from the context menu, or click the Format Shape launcher on the Shape Styles section of the Home tab. The shapes below have a reflection, a bevel, and a 3D rotation. To enhance the look even more, mix and match effects by choosing from more than one effect type to add to your shape. You can also format multiple shapes by using the gallery when more than one shape is selected. These galleries contain several variants of each effect that is designed to add some visual emphasis to your diagram. The menu that comes up has an entry for each type of effect you can add and hovering over an effect will bring up a gallery of choices that allow you to add one of the preset effects. Select a shape and click on Effects in the Shape Styles section of the Home tab. You can also quickly add an effect to any selected shape. As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, you can use quick styles to customize colors and formatting of shapes. For instance, the first example below includes a subtle shadow to emphasize shapes and make them look more modern while the second example uses a 3D shadow to add dimension to a very simple theme.īut these themes merely hint at the power that effects give you to customize the look of any shape in your diagram. The simplest way to use effects to make a diagram pop is to simply choose a theme that includes effects.
