how to insert shapes, icons and text boxes in Microsoft Word

I am going to learn how to insert shapes, icons and text boxes in Microsoft Word

Insert the shape

when we click on the shape button we can choose a shape and then we simply need to left click into the document and hold the mouse button down.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

while we are dragging the shape, a shape can be edited in almost the same way as an image.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

but there are often 2 additional editing options.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

editing of the contour

the first one is the editing of the contour, when we select the shape, it has these orange circles summer on the contour.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

then we can move these circles which will lead to a change in geometry.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

another way to change the geometry is by selecting edit.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

shape and then clicking on edit points with this option.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

we have even more possibilities to customize the geometry.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

text filling

the second thing I want to show you about shapes is the text filling文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

when the shape is selected, we can simply start writing and a text will be implemented on top of the shape.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/105.html

this text can be edited like any other text in our document.

so the most editing options can be found in the home tab, but some of them can also be found in the format tab.

the position of the text relative to the shape can be changed in the text section

to position the text at the bottom for example we click on a line text and choose bottom

one special case of shapes is the text box, the text box is basically a rectangular shape which

already contains text by default.

this is useful to position blocks of text at desired spots in a document without having to change the formatting options for the whole document.

Insert icon

the next object that is similar to an image is an icon vert contains a set of icons.

which can be very useful to make the document a bit more vivid.

to use them we click on the icons button, select all icons that we need.

and then we click on insert, the default color of the icons is black.

but the coloring style can again be changed in the format tab.

Insert 3D model

another object we can insert invert is the 3 d model

there are animated models and static ones in the format tab we can again customize them.

but since these models look very unprofessional in a document, I will not explain them in more detail

I didn't show you a lot of editing options for the shapes icons and text boxes in this video

since they are almost the same as the editing options for the images

and we already covered images in this course

but the most important part you should

remember is that icons are almost the same as images shapes additionally can contain text

and the text box is a special case of a shape

so that's it
