The Drawing Tools
The Drawing Tools will probably appear at the bottom of the Word
window. There are quite a few different tools which will allow
you to draw most any basic shape. In fact you'll find that many
of the basic shapes are already made under "AutoShapes."
Experiment with each to learn how they might best be used.
