Microsoft Office: Working with graphics
 

There are two basic types of graphics that can be use to enhance MS Office documents:  Drawing objects, which include AutoShapes, curves, lines, freeforms, and WordArt drawing objects. Pictures, which  include clipart images and photographs.

The Draw Toolbar: provides access for creating, changing and enhancing objects, including colors, patterns, borders, and other effects.  To draw shapes and lines: Select the appropriate tool. Click and drag to create that shape.  Hint: Press the Shift key while doing the click and drag operation to create proportional shapes (for example: perfect circles instead of elipses.)
