You may want to consider reading this comprehensive list that details the meaning of flowchart shapes, but here’s a quick overview of the basics. The purpose of the drawing canvas is to help you organize your drawing objects. We’ll be focusing on two things here-the connectors in the “Lines” group near the top and the shapes in the “Flowchart” group near the bottom.īefore we continue, it’s important to understand the intended purpose of the shapes. There is another way you can create drawings, and that is by using what Word calls the 'drawing canvas.' You create a drawing canvas by displaying the Insert tab of the ribbon, clicking the Shapes tool in the Illustrations group, and then choosing New Drawing Canvas. Next, switch to the “Insert” tab and then click the “Shapes” button (we’ll go through SmartArt later).Ī drop-down menu displays a large library of shapes you can choose from. Your gridlines will now appear on your Word document. To make the gridlines appears, head over to the “View” tab and tick the “Gridlines” checkbox. You can also click the Format tab on the ribbon the Arrange group on either tab includes the Group button. Press and hold down Shift as you select multiple objects. Notice that the individual handles for each object disappear, and instead.
Excel displays a Context menu from which you should choose Group Group. Finally, right-click on one of the images in the group. Select all the objects you want to group together. This is done by selecting all the objects you want grouped together (hold down the Shift key as you select each object you want in the group). When working with shapes in any Office application, it’s always useful to use gridlines to make sure everything is sized and placed correctly. By grouping several objects together, you can format multiple objects at once rather than formatting each object individually.
