Shapes, tables, charts and QR codes

Everything on the Insert menu that is not text or a picture.

Shapes

Choose Shape in the toolbar: Rectangle, Ellipse, Triangle, Star, Line or Arrow. Then, under Adjust → Shape:

  • Fill: a colour or a two-colour gradient with an angle.
  • Stroke and Stroke width: the outline.
  • Corner radius: rectangles only.
  • Kind: change one shape into another without redrawing it.

Tables

  1. Choose Insert → Table….
  2. Type one row per line, with commas between cells. The first row is the heading.
  3. Choose Add to the design.

A table holds up to 12 rows and 6 columns. It is built from ordinary text and shape layers in a group, so you can restyle any cell afterwards.

Bar charts

  1. Choose Insert → Bar chart….
  2. Type one bar per line: a label, a comma, then a number.
  3. Choose Add to the design.

A chart shows 2 to 12 bars. Like a table, it is made of ordinary layers you can recolour and move.

QR codes

  1. Choose Insert → QR code….
  2. Paste the Link people should land on.
  3. Choose Add to the design.

The code is placed as an image. Keep it large enough to scan (about a fifth of the page width is a safe minimum) and on a plain, light background. Test it with your phone before publishing.
