MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / January 2006Drawing Tutorial for Word?
Can anyone recommend a tutorial for using the Draw tools in Word--internet or books? Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

Not a bad idea. :) ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com > Can anyone recommend a tutorial for using the Draw tools in Word--internet > or books? > > Wayne T.

Maybe I missed something, but one page is pretty thin. I would think someone would have produced a fairly through examination of how order, grouping, sizing, measurement, grids, rulers (if there are any) and the like work. I have no book to go on, so I just figure it out on the fly. So far so good, but there must be some organized primer on how this works. It would be interesting to see some advanced example of what some people have done. I suspect there are features I've missed. For example, someone mentioned use of the ctrl (shift?) with the arc that will produce an arc from a circle rather than some other way. Wayne T.

(It may still need some organizing of the topics, though!) ************ Hope it helps!

For Word in Office 2003: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\WDMAIN11.CHM Online: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/CH060832071033.aspx The CHM isn't that good really but has some info? The site's not that much better from what I've been looking at. For drawing, well, why are you using Word? Have you checked into Expression (beta) from Microsoft yet? You can see what the artists have been doing with it (I had extra bandwidth, space, and no artistic talent of my own): http://kgiii.info/gallery/ More info: http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/graphic_designer/default.mspx SignatureGalen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ http://kgiii.info/ "We approached the case, you remember, with an absolutely blank mind, which is always an advantage.

Never heard of Expression. I'll check it out. The gallery of graphics at the URL are impressive, but well beyond what I need. I don't want to be an artist, just want to express technical ideas in figures. Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
