The Microsoft Office Icons Library
Selecting and Hiding Shape Objects
An easy way to select an object is to use the Selection task pane. Just select any shape and then choose
Drawing Tools ➪ Format ➪ Arrange ➪ Selection Pane. Or, if a shape isn’t selected, you can choose
Home ➪ Editing ➪ Find & Select ➪ Selection Pane.
Each object on the active worksheet is listed in the Selection task pane. Just click the object’s name
to select it. To select multiple objects, press Ctrl while you click the names.
To hide an object, click the “eye” icon to the right of its name. Use the buttons at the top of the task
pane to hide (or show) all items quickly.
Formatting shapes and icons
Although icons feel and behave like standard shapes, they have different contextual menus
(see Figure 23.13).
