To Draw A Shape

  1. Click the Rectangle or Oval Tool or select a shape from the AutoShapes Menu.
  2. Click and drag the mouse to draw your shape.

To Format a Shape

To format a shape, select it (see Working with Objects for how to select a shape). Note that all shapes have lines around them. These lines may be formatted using the styles described in the above section. Fill Tool To change a shape’s color, click the arrow next to the Fill Tool to bring up a palette of colors from which to choose. Note that the color you choose here changes the color of the inside of the shape only. The color of the line border can be changed as described in the section above on lines. To fill a shape with a pattern (such as marble) or a gradient, click the arrow next to the Fill Tool. Select Fill Effects from the menu. Shadow Tool Add a shadow to your shape by using the Shadow Tool. Select a shadow style from the menu. 3-D Tool Some shapes allow you to add a 3-D effect to them. To add this effect, click the 3-D Tool and choose a 3-D style from the menu. CLIPART

  1. Click the ClipArt button.
  2. Browse through the gallery until you find the ClipArt you would like to use.
  3. Click on the piece of clipart you would like to use.
  4. Choose the first option ( Insert ) from the menu that appears. YOUR OWN ARTWORK

To insert photos from a digital camera, graphics from the web, graphics that you have scanned, or

digitally drawn or art:

1. Know where on your computer the graphic you want to use is saved (i.e. on a CD-ROM, in

your My Documents folder, on your desktop, etc.)

2. From within Word , go to the Insert menu.

3. Go to Picture.

4. Select From File.

5. In the dialog box that appears, navigate to where your graphic is saved.

6. Select your graphic.

7. Click Insert.

  • To add a border to a graphic, use the line formatting tools. First make sure that the objects are

floating objects (see section Working with Objects). Do not draw a line around the graphic with

the line tool. All you need to do is select a line thickness from the line style menu and then

format the border as you would any other line.

TIP: If you need to edit a graphic itself (adjustments to contrast, colors, brightness or image size), use a program such as Adobe PhotoShop to edit your graphic before you insert it into your Word document.
