Could you give us a better idea of what you're trying to accomplish? Also,
which version of PPT are you using?

Basically, to draw a "bar," you'd use a rectangle autoshape, then give it an
appropriate fill so it looks "3D-ish." Or you can apply 3D settings using
the 3D Style button on the Drawing toolbar. You'd probably need to tweak the
3D settings using the 3D Settings toolbar, as the default options are pretty
extreme.

Somehow I think that's not what you're asking, though.

I'm sorry. I'm using 2003. I have seen 3D bars used as a heading with
title/text on across the bar. I have also seen the bars used as bullets. I
was just wondering where a good source would be to copy and paste such
bars/lines or is there a way of making them? Thanks your time.
