# Changing Balloon Variety

Changing the balloon variety (in other words modifying its outline shape) dramatically expands the creative options available.

To change the balloon variety of a new balloon:
1. Choose Insert->Balloon or drag a balloon from the element well and drop it on the page.

   A variety popup slider will appear.

   If no variety popup slider appears you selected the Square or Space balloons. Those balloon types do not have any associated varieties. Choose a different kind of balloon.

2. In the variety popup drag the slider to the left or right.

   Notice the outline of the balloon changing.

3. When you are happy with the outline just click outside the balloon to finish.

To change the balloon variety of an existing balloon:
1. Select the balloon you want to change.
2. Click on the Inspector button in the toolbar and then click on the Form button.
3. Drag the variety slider.
