Filled Shapes
All editions have tools to create shapes in cross stitch for rectangles/squares, circles/ellipses and rounded rectangles/squares.
The Plus and Publisher editions also have a shape browser containing many more filled shapes like stars, arrows, spirals etc. Users able to create wmf vector graphics files can also add further shapes to the browser.
Unfilled Shapes
Unfilled shapes are the same as the filled shape tools except that only the outlines appear in cross stitch. The centres remain blank canvas.
