Strategy: For many AutoShapes, you can select the shape and it offers one or more yellow diamond-shaped handles. This yellow handle allows you to adjust the inflection point in shapes. In the image above, the lower left diamond handle will allow you to control how much overlap appears on the back ribbon.
As shown in Fig. 1378, you can make the front portion of the ribbon shorter, or longer, as shown in Fig. 1379.
This shape offers a top inflection point. This can make the “fold” of the ribbon narrower, as shown in Fig. 1380or thicker, as shown in Fig. 1381.
For the Double Wave, the bottom inflection handle controls tilt, as shown in Fig. 1382 and Fig. 1383.
Summary: Use the yellow handle with the AutoShape to adjust the inflection of an AutoShape to create an infinite variety of shapes.
