What are stencils?

Stencils contain a collection of related shapes. For example, in a workflow template there is a stencil that contains all the work flow object shapes, another that contains work flow steps, and a stencil with a collection of arrow shapes to indicate direction. In a home planning template, there is a stencil for walls, one for furniture, one for garden accessories, and so on.

Stencils are stacked one over the other in the Shapes window. The shapes from only one stencil at a time are displayed. To see the shapes for a stencil, click the stencil’s title bar. The title bars always stay at the top of theShapes window, but if there are several, they can be hidden to leave room to display the shapes. If stencil title bars are hidden, a scroll bar appears next to the title bars so you can scroll through them.

You can extend the title bar area to show all the title bars by grabbing the border between the titles and the shapes and dragging it down.
