Learn how to add or delete points (vertexes) for a shape in PowerPoint 2013.
The Edit Points option gives you control over how you want a shape to look, but sometimes you might find it difficult to edit a certain segment in a shape because there are no points available to manipulate -- or maybe there are far too many points! PowerPoint provides a simple solution for this problem -- you can add and delete vertexes from a shape.
To add a vertex to a shape, select the shape (you can use any shape, for this tutorial we have used a Rectangle) and switch to Edit Point mode (just right-click and choose the Edit Points option from the context menu).
Now place the cursor on top of the outline of the shape where you want to add a new vertex (point) - the cursor will change to a rectangle with a plus sign, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1.
Now right-click carefully -- and from the resultant menu, choose the Add Point option, as you can see in Figure 2.
Make sure you are in Edit Points mode (just right-click and choose the Edit Points option from the context menu).
Place the cursor over the point you want to delete -- the cursor will change to a four-directional arrow, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 5.
