Chapter 6: Other Hidden Tools:

I suggest you take some time and go through all of the menu items on the top of the screen and explore them.

 

Charts, pasting pictures in text boxes, 3d boxes, word art, textures, patterns…ok you go find the rest.

 

Drawing is especially important…but experiment with all of them and find new things

 

Ok…right off the bat I should tell you this:

 

If you want to insert a picture in a Microsoft Word document, you should first draw a “text box”

 

00020.jpgI know…you think the words text box mean it’s for text…but it works well for pictures.

 

Once you’ve drawn a text box, paste the picture in the textbox.

 

That way you can click on the text box and move the text box (with the picture inside) around the screen.

 

This is helpful for designing brochures and much more.
