Hey there. I tried searching before posting this but no luck. How do I draw
an outline of Utah, and then fill it with a background color
1.    This outline will have a
a.    four text boxes
b.    and a picture (of Delicate Arch)
2.    I can currently do the four text boxes and add the picture, but the
problem is that I use the Drawing Line command to make an outline of Utah.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I can link six straight lines and fill it with
color.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond.

I'll grant you that Utah is a fairly easy state to freehand, but I generally
find it more satisfactory to find state outlines as clip art. If you have a
program such as CorelDRAW that includes these maps, that's useful, but if
you use Google Images to search for "Utah outline map," you may find
something more satisfactory. The problem here, though, is that you will
probably need to use paint or photo editing software (including MS Paint or
MS PhotoEditor) to change the fill color.
