We’re now going to try something new – a technique for adding clever shapes and a few "secret" things to our slides.

First, point the cursor away from the Title box and click the left mouse button. This is called "clicking away." This will "turn-off" the square "box" around the Title.

Next, point to View in the Menu Bar and click. When the menu list appears, move the cursor down to Toolbars. Look at the Toolbars drop down list. Notice that, normally, the first two selections (Standard and Formatting) have a small check mark in front of them. This indicates that these toolbars are visible on the screen. Look further down the list until you see Drawing. If you see a check mark (like in the picture on the left), then simply point away from the drop down menu, click the mouse, and look for the Drawing Tool bar. If you do not see a check mark, click-on Drawing. The Drawing toolbar will appear at the top, side or bottom of the screen. It will look like the tool bar below.

Now click-on AutoShapes and a small box of shapes will appear.

Move up and down the pop up menu box and notice the different shapes that appear next to each choice. Then,

click-on Stars and Banners. Click-on the first starburst in the top row. When you have clicked, the cursor will change to "cross hairs" when you move it into the slide area.

Now move the cross hairs up into the area just below the title. Click and hold down the left mouse button, and drag down and to the right. Release the button. A starburst should appear as below.
