MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / May 2007keep autoshape open
When I'm using autoshapes, sometimes I want to use the same one several times but to save time I'd rather notgo back to the menu each time.Is there a shortcut to keep using the same shape or to keep it open until I want a different one? thanks The Autoshape menu is a tearoff. Open the menu, along the top of the menu is a series of dots, place the cursor on the dots and drag the menu. In Publisher 2000 it works the same but instead of dots there is a thick line.

I know the autoshapes menu/toolbar can float but it still means I have to keep going back to the toolbar.I discovered if you double tap the drawing toolbar when it's not floating you can create multiple shapes but when it's floating this doesn't work. > The Autoshape menu is a tearoff.

I know the menu is a tearoff but in this mode it doesn't allow me to make multiple autoshapes(office 2003).I've discovered that if I leave the toolbar anchored and click twice I can make multiple autoshapes.I find this very useful when I'm creating brainstorming maps with word or ppt. > The Autoshape menu is a tearoff.
