Use a flyout to modify the rectangle and add a special effect

Finally, when you work in CorelDRAW® 10, you will sometimes need to use flyouts. A flyout displays when you click the small black triangle in the bottom right-corner of a tool in the toolbox.

Only some tools have flyouts. Clicking the triangle opens the flyout, displaying more tools.

You will change the rectangle's color by using the Outline tool flyout and add a drop-shadow special effect to the rectangle. Click here to see examples of how drop shadows can be used.
