Add frequently used PowerPoint shapes to your presentation in a single click using PPT Productivity's Format Toolbar.

PowerPoint has a lot of shapes available but it takes multiple clicks to find them. PPT Productivity makes it faster to access your most frequently used shapes for PowerPoint.

Common shapes you can quickly add to your PowerPoint presentation from the Format toolbar include:

• Text box
• Rectangle
• Rounded edge rectangle
• Circle/ Oval
• Isosceles triangle
• Callout
• Right arrow
• Down arrow
• Straight connector
• Arrowed connector
• Elbow connector
• Elbow arrow connector
• Left brace
• Right brace
• Star

PPT Productivity also makes it easy to add non standard shapes to PowerPoint including Harvey Balls, Chevrons, Large Right Triangles, Hand drawn circles and more.

Note that shapes like the chevrons and right triangle appear as blue on the feature buttons on the Format Toolbar, but the shapes paste onto your PowerPoint slide using your presentation's theme colors.

Add Chevrons or Block Arrows to PowerPoint slides. If you resize or recolor the first inserted block arrow or chevron, subsequent chevrons inserted into your PowerPoint presentation will match your updated shape and color.

PPT Productivity makes it easy to insert chevrons to PowerPoint slides, including the option of a block arrow (pentagon) for the first chevron.

Click the add chevrons feature multiple times to add the required number of chevrons. Resize and recolor the first chevron and subsequent chevrons added to the slide will insert in matching size and color. Or update the formatting once all chevrons are inserted - chevrons are grouped as you add them, to make formatting easy.

Chevrons in standard PowerPoint are tricky to space (because the standard PowerPoint chevron is a reshaped rectangle). For a precise layout, PPT Productivity chevrons can be evenly spaced at specified distances using the PPT Productivity Set Horizontal Gaps feature.

Easily add Hand Drawn Circle shapes to your PowerPoint slide. PPT Productivity's circle shape mimics a hand drawn annotation on a slide e.g. to add focus or circle text to suggest a concern or necessary correction. The circle can be added in red, orange, yellow, or green or update to custom colors.

This feature makes it easy to add a hand drawn circle shape to your slide. The shape is an open circle or oval - appearance is a freehand loop so that it looks like you have circled text in PowerPoint (or an image or shape - the hand drawn circle shape can be used on anything!).

The Hand Drawn Circle feature button by default shows the last color circle used, but on click you will see a drop down option with all colors.

Once added to the slide it behaves like a normal shape - you can distend, recolor, enlarge or shrink the hand drawn circles. To recolor your Hand Drawn Circls, go to Settings > Colors on the PPT Productivity Ribbon. You can select your preferred colors for the hand drawn circle options.
