Default Reshaping squares and circles

I'm doing stowage plans, but can't figure out how to reshape a rectangular
shape so it gets smaller in one end.. Sort of like an arrow.. I know it's
possible but for some reason I can't seem to find what I'm looking for..

If you're using Excel to do it, use the AutoShapes, and choose the one called
FreeForm. This allows you to draw it line by line. You should be able to
get the shape you want this way, but if it's a little off, right click on the
shape and choose Edit Points. This allows you to pull on separate corners to
reshape the way you want it.
