  5. Shapes • These shapes are completely resizable. Just drag the handles. But be careful. Dragging a corner handle will not keep the shape's proportions! Hold down the SHIFT key while you drag a corner handle to keep a shape's proportions. • The “green dot” at the top of the image allows you to rotate that image.

  6. Drawing Tools Format Ribbon • Once a shape has been added to the document, then the Drawing Tools Format ribbon is displayed • The ribbon allows you to: • Add a new shape • Select a Shape Style (sets color, shading, effects, etc.) • Edit WordArt Styles • Set the text alignment and direction • Arrange the shape in the document • Set the size

  7. Drawing Tools – Arrange Group • Position or Text Wrap: Allows control over how the graphic will appear with respect to the text around the graphic

  8. Drawing - Order • Sometimes you need to change the stacking order. That is to change which shape is on top of another shape • To change the order you use the Bring to Front and Send to Back drop downs.

  9. Drawing - Grouping • Grouping is a way to lock items together • You should group objects that should stay to together. That way you won't accidentally mess up the arrangement you worked so hard to get just right. It’s also much easier to move objects that are grouped together. • Select the items you want together • Home tab, Edit Group, Select, Select Objects • Click Group | Group. • To ungroup simply select the graphics and do Group | Ungroup.

  10. Drawing – WordArt • WordArt can help you create attractive logos and fancy text to really catch the reader's eye. This program is accessed from the Text group on Insert tab in the Word ribbon. • Note: Your WordArt text is not regular text. It can be edited only with WordArt. Spell check won't see it as any more than it would a picture of a tree. So be careful with your spelling when you create WordArt!
