1. Insert the shape with which you want to begin (In this case a rounded corner rectangle) Figure 1
2. Insert the next shape you want to use for your completed shape (In this case I chose the diamond)
3. Use the align features to center and align horizontally until you are satisfied. Figure 2

1. Select all of your shapes (Ctrl-A)
2. Choose Format–Merge Shapes–Union

I then right-click and save as a picture for repeated use.
