[dba-Tech] PowerPoint freeform question

In PowerPoint 2007, you can apply Freeform to an AutoShape object to create 
a custom shape. I don't believe you can do this in 2003 -- does anyone know 
if you can? If you can, I haven't been able to figure out how.

In 2007, you select the AutoShape, and then choose Freeform from the Edit 
Shapes option in the Insert Shapes group on the Format tab. After enabling 
Freeform, you right-click the object and choose Edit Points. Then, you just 
start moving points around. It's kind of cool, but I don't recall anything 
like this is 2003 and I haven't been able to find it either -- but just 
because I can't figure it out doesn't mean you can't do it.
