The PrintingPress Extreme shape tool allows you to quickly and easily add a decorative shape to any piece of stationery. The tool allows you to choose from a list of 82 different shape outlines and specify the fill color or pattern, details for a frame around the shape and details for an outline and inner pen for the shape. The example below from the January 2009 issue of the Mountaincow Monthly shows a card with a peace sign that we created using several shapes. First we created the circle of the peace sign by adding a shape with its Shape set to Oval, filled the shape's background in pink and then used the Repeated Text feature to repeat the word "love" in pink and red across the background of the shape. Next we added a thick red outline to the circle, and then added several rectangular shapes to add the inner details to the symbol.

To add a shape to your stationery, choose Shape, Insert Shape in the Design menu. The Shape window will appear. To edit a shape that you've already created, double-click on the shape.
