After objects are added, you can format them in any way you want. And if necessary, you can remove the formatting from the selected object(s) and apply the default formatting for that particular type of object (e.g., oval, rectangle, bubble, line). Normally, the default settings for each object type are based on the basic formatting provided. However, you can change the default settings for a particular object type so that the next time you draw that shape, the settings that you specified are automatically used.

What's Next?
