Create your own shapes in PowerPoint

Presentation designers: Your days of hunting for icons is over. This is the coolest trick YOU NEVER HEARD OF. Prepare to have your mind blown and all your wildest presentation dreams come true...

Yes that's right. You can draw two shapes in PowerPoint and then use this command to combine them, intersect them, create a union, or subtract them. Make endless combinations of shapes and icons that are fully editable in PowerPoint. Take that old map artwork and break the Sudan and South Sudan into two separate countries. Freedom is yours. At last.

Go ahead and weep. There's no shame in it. I know I did.
