hi... I'm trying to draw a shape using the line tools in powerpoint
and then fill it... but it doesn't let me.... for example, say I draw
a triangle with three lines and then group my lines together... now I
would like to fill in the triangle.... is this possible? When I go to
my fill options... they are all greyed out, I can't access them....

thanks
 
Don't believe you can do it with the line tools. but if you use the freeform
tool you can do it. which version of PowerPoint are you using?

thanks for replying,

I'm using powerpoint 2003.... it's hard for me to draw real straight
lines with the free form tool.... or nice curves.... is there any
other way?

thanks
