This will change the Outline and Fill properties for shapes you've created with the Shape, Fill, (Rounded) Rectangle and Oval tools. You can set the properties for these shapes independently from each other: Settings for an oval will not affect settings for a rectangle, for example.
An identical dialog box will change the properties for circles. It has the title Circle Properties.
•To display the Shape Properties dialog box double-click the shape on the map.
•Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.
