Format Object (Line Style pane)
Notes:
- When you change options in this dialog box, the changes are immediately applied to your shape, making it easy to see the effects of the changes in your SmartArt graphic or shape without closing the dialog box. However, since the changes are instantly applied, it is not possible to click
Cancel
in this dialog box. To remove changes, you must clickUndo
on the Quick Access Toolbar for each change that you want to remove.
- You can simultaneously undo multiple changes that you made to one dialog box option, as long as you did not make changes to another dialog box option in between.
- You may want to move the dialog box so that you can see both the shape and the dialog box at the same time.
