The diagonal lines are a property of the rectangle. In other words first draw the rectangle
and second change the fill property to the pattern of your choice.

Here is a more detailed explanation:

1. First use the rectangle drawing tool to draw a rectangle
2. Select the rectangle. (Press and release the left mouse button while the cursor is over the
rectangle. You should see handles on the sides of the rectangle.)
3. While the cursor is over the rectangle, right mouse click. This will bring up a menu of
actions that can be applied to the rectangle. (Tip! If ever in doubt about how to specify an
action that is to be performed on some object, right mouse click over the object. Chances
are the menu that pops up will contain a command that leads to the action you want to
perform.)
4. Select Format Autoshape from the menu that pops up
5. Select the tab: Colors and Lines
6. Select the pull down for fill color
7. Now select Fill Effects
8. Choose the pattern you want an then click OK/OK
