HOW TO ADD MERGE SHAPES IN POWERPOINT 2010 WINDOWS
PowerPoint 2010 for Windows lets you change how your shapes merge with its four Combine Shape commands: Combine, Intersect, Subtract, and Union.

They will be added to the ‘Shapes’ group you created. The Shape Subtract command retains the first selected shape and subtracts overlapping areas of other shapes. All these attempts bring their own error messages, be it compile time messages or run time messages. Select each one in turn and click the ‘Add >’ button between the two columns. I have tried several other approaches for creating a data structure of pairs of shapes in VBA, from a multiple dimension array of shapes to this approach. However, the Message Box I end up seeing is empty, possibly indicating that the shapeAssoc variable hasn't been initialized. In this Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Tutorial, I will show how you can use the Merge Shapes Subtract command in PowerPoint 2007 because these commands are only. Intersect: Erases both shapes except for the parts. Place the tool on the central white portion of the image. ‘Cut’ using ‘Ctrl + X’ and use ‘Paste special’ function to paste them back as PNG image: Select the PNG image -> go to Format ->Recolor -> and select ‘Set Transparent color’ tool. Fragment: Makes both shapes one color and outlines the part where they overlap. Step 2: Cut and Paste the shapes as PNG image. Combine: Makes one shape with the overlapping parts erased.

Choose a merge option: Union: Merges multiple shapes into one. Global shapeAssoc As New ShapeAssociation While holding the Shift key, select another shape. So when I try to test ShapeAssociation, I use this module: Global shapeAssociations() As ShapeAssociation

In associateShapes I use a Class Module named ShapeAssociation, in it I have two properties shape1Name and shape2Name, where the pair represents an association between those the shapes of those names. Grouping might partly work instead of combine but the group does not act like a new shape eg you cannot add a line around it. The user selects two shapes and then starts a macro named associateShapes(), It has never been included in 2007 and I doubt it ever will be. If you’re looking to go beyond the Freeform Tool and create more complex custom shapes, there's a feature called Combine Shapes in PowerPoint 2010 that helps you do just that It uses the principles of Boolean Geometry, to help you create new shapes by combining. I am trying to create a memory game similar to the one here. PowerPoint has a lot of great pre-set shapes, but sometimes what you really need is a tailor-made shape for your presentation.
