PowerPoint features a large library of shapes used for things like creating flowcharts. That’s not all, though—PowerPoint also lets you combine and merge these shapes to create a unique object. Here’s how.
Merging Shapes in PowerPoint
To merge shapes in PowerPoint, you’ll first need to insert the shapes you wish to merge. To do so, head over to the “Insert” tab and select “Shapes” found in the “Illustrations” group.
On the drop-down menu that appears, browse through the large library of shapes and select the one you want to use. We’ll use the oval shape in this example.
Next, draw your shape. You can do so by clicking and dragging your cursor.
Repeat the steps above to insert your next shape. Once ready, make sure the shapes are overlapping.
