PowerPoint lets you change the appearance of merged shapes. However, don’t assume that just because this is so easy-to-use, the end results won’t be seriously impressive. Together, there are five options that let you merge shapes, and we have already explored four of them. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can use the Subtract option to subtract one shape (or even multiple shapes), from the first selected shape.
