It cannot fill in the center of a closed polygon made from line "AutoShapes." No paint buckets, apparently. And since PowerPoint---like Visual Studio---seems to use the absolutely meaningless "twip" as its preferred unit of measurement, creating *another* polygon, this one filled, to position it behind the *first*, manual polygon is an exercise in being so near yet so far. There is absolutely no reason that one should have to take a screenshot, export to PNG, use The GIMP's paint bucket, re-export to PNG, and export into PowerPoint. *None whatsoever.* Yet it was necessary. Why, Microsoft, why? C.
