In this segment of the word tutorial we are going to learn how to insert and use shapes in
a document in word now this function is not used as much but at least for the sake of functionality
of the product here it will be worth covering so we go here at any place in the document and
we click on the insert tab and then we go under shapes now you can select any of those shapes
of course this is just to make a case they have to be used purposefully for your document
and in this case let's say i wanted to use one of those shapes now one thing un unlike inserting
a picture where the picture would be inserted automatically or icons and other components in
the document here we have to draw how big or where we want this object to be inserted and how large
so we select it and now at this stage notice that contextual tools show up so it's tools related
to the shape component now here we can apply various styles for this we can apply various
animations
and we can apply here the text wrapping to make it tight and other components and edit this if you
don't like this you can change the shape from here using this tool it'll change it to something else
and so on now one thing to keep in mind as you're working with the shapes
if and this is just for the sake of learning about another thing here is that if you go
under insert you can actually on top of this you could insert a text box so you could actually
type stuff on top of this object and you do that by clicking on insert choosing text box
and we are going to draw a text box directly as part of this
you can format this how you prefer and then you can even change the background
under the shape fill here
to make it to no fill and then you can make the the text color make it white in that way
it fits the text a little bit better so in this case we are learning about two concepts
one inserting the shape and adjusting it in the document
the other one was inserting a text box that we embedded on top of the shape
now sometimes in order to move these these are two separate objects and this is another
concept you can actually click on the text box hold down the control key click again on the
larger one the outside one and if you right click you can actually group those together
it moves as one object rather than two
and that's how you work with shapes and how you modify them
