So work will be at the end and there will be nothing there but the first time you add one, now you have School Two. It's under My Shapes which won't appear until you actually have your first one. You go to Format, Shapes and Lines, and you can hit Save to My Shapes. Now once you've altered the shape, say you want to use this again, you can actually save it.

Sometimes they're made out of multiple objects like the roof and the main part of the building. You can click and drag just like an entire object.

From there click on any dot you want or any circle that you want to alter things. So sometimes it helps to just click kind of on a fringe element to get into it there. Now it's very tricky sometimes to select things because if you go to select a shape and you do it kind of in the middle then it assumes that you've double clicked to actually type some text. This is kind of getting rid of a cutout shape. Maybe I want to get rid of this window here so I'll select all of these. By selecting all of the circles, I'm going to hold down the Shift key as I select these, you can delete things. The circles when you select those individually, here's like one, that is for a curve. I have to select one of the squares there to do it. I can actually select several dots and move the flag up. So, for instance, say I wanted to make this flag taller. Undo works nicely to undo things so you can experiment. You can see now I've got these little dots all around and I can change things. So you can go to Format, Shapes and Lines, and choose Make Editable. Let's say we want to alter the shape of it. Let's enlarge it a bit so we can see it easier. So as an example let's choose this school building here. There's a whole bunch of different things you can do. You can even save your custom versions of these shapes. You can do it in a couple different ways. There's all these different ones that Apple included.īut you can also customize these shapes.

Video Transcript: In a previous video I talked about how a new feature in Pages 6.2 is the ability to not just add simple shapes like the basic things but also these complex shapes. Check out Customizing Shapes in Pages, Numbers and Keynote at YouTube for closed captioning and more options.
