Merging Shapes in PowerPoint
- Use any shapes you need to build your desired shape—it does not matter if they overlap, but make sure to cover any gaps you don’t want.
- Select all of your shapes—the formatting of the shape you choose first in this step will apply to your entire shape once it’s merged.
- Select Merge Shapes from the left of the ribbon on the Format Pane.
- Choose Union.
- This will merge the shapes you’ve used into one unified shape.
Hello, For spreadsheet table image, how to merge fragments made from each column (cropped to narrow width)?. Goal is to reduce table width (original for computer monitor view) for printing. Thanks Ahead!
Hi Sunny, unfortunately you cannot merge images. The features described on this page are just for shapes. If you’ve taken multiple screenshots of your table, you could arrange them next to each other, select all of them at the same time, and then right click –> group. This would make it so when you’re resizing the table, all of the images move and are scaled together instead of individually. Let me know if I am understanding your question correctly!
