DrawReshape
Syntax:

DrawReshape

Example:

The following sample macro draws a freeform drawing object in the shape of the letter "N". Next, the macro changes the handles on the freeform drawing object between the vertices of the freeform shape (where you use the handles to reshape the object) and the bounding rectangle (where you use the handles to scale or resize the object).

Before running the macro place the insertion point in a new blank document and select Page Layout view.
