Drawing Shapes 473
When a shape is selected, the Format contextual tab appears on the ribbon.
- On the Format tab, in the Insert Shapes group, click the More button to display
the Shapes gallery. Then under Block Arrows, click the Right Arrow shape, and
draw a small arrow to the right of the star. - With the arrow still selected, hold down the Ctrl key, and drag a copy of the arrow
to the left of the star.
Troubleshooting Be sure to release the mouse button before you release the Ctrl key.
Otherwise you’ll move the shape instead of copying it. - With the shape still selected, in the Arrange group, click the Rotate button, and
then click Flip Horizontal.
You could have drawn a Left Arrow shape, but this technique ensures that the two
arrows have the same proportions.
Tip You can rotate or flip any type of image. Rotating turns a shape 90 degrees to the
right or left; flipping turns a shape 180 degrees horizontally or vertically. You can also
rotate a shape to any degree by dragging the green rotating handle.
