  Click the “Shape Outline” present in the middle of the task bar. You can now select the type of outline. To create a coupon, you should try to click “Dashes” and choose any of the dotted lines available. This will be used to make the coupon-clipper. The default colour of the border will be black. To change the colour, click on “Shape Outline” once again, and select the colour from the small coloured boxes appearing in front of you.

  If you want to add clip art to your coupon, then click “Insert” tab followed by “Clip Art” and then enter the key term used in your coupon. For instance, if you are creating coupons for ice-cream, then you should write “Ice-cream” - without the quotes. A list of clip art will appear, related to your keyword. Select the clip art of your choice and drag it on your coupon.
