| You can add the illusion of depth to your worksheets by giving your drawings a three-dimensional appearance using the 3-D tool. Although not all objects can be turned into 3-D objects, most AutoShapes can. You can create a 3-D effect using one of the 20 preset 3-D styles, or you can use the 3-D tools to customize your own 3-D style. You can control several elements using the customization tools, including the angle at which the 3-D object is tilted and rotated , the depth of the object, and the direction of light falling upon the object.
