How to fill a specific area.

[K511Wilson]

I know you can fill a shape when you create it, like a circle or a square,
but I can not figure out how to fill part of a shape. I have a square with a
circle inside of it, and the whole thing is divided into 4 equal parts. I
need two of these quarters to be blue and the other two yellow. I just can
not figure out how to fill these areas.

Only shapes can be filled, not just part of a shape.
Draw 4 squares, each the size of the quarter you wish to fill, arrange
them in a block, fill each as required, set the line type to none.
Position them over the other square, send them to the back, set the
fill for the front shape to none. Group all the shapes.

A Visio shape can only have one colour, so once you start talking about
multiple colours, then you are talking about multiple shapes. Draw a pair of
lines on top of the shape where you want to segment the shape, select all
three and then chose Fragment from the operations. Then group the shapes.

Where's that Veg-a-matic? Feel like I want to slice, dice, and chop
something...

My "Fragmented" English got to you? ;-)

No, not at all. I knew exactly what you meant. It's just the mental image
just popped up the Veg-a-matic thing! OK. So I get amused in weird way.
