Microsoft Excel: Use The Scribble Tool

Problem: Your logo is not an angular logo, like the MrExcel logo. You want to try out the previous technique.

Strategy: As shown in Fig. 1418, there is a Scribble tool in the AutoShape – Lines menu.

With the scribble tool, you can create either a line or a shape. If you scribble and do not close the shape, Excel will create a line, as shown in Fig. 1419.

However, if you use the scribble tool and are careful to end very near to where you began, Excel will create a closed shape from your scribble, as shown in Fig. 1420.

As shown in Fig. 1421, you can then add shadows, color, or 3-D effects to the shape.

Summary: Use the Scribble AutoShape tool to draw any shape.
