About Graphics in Word

Overview

There are two basic types of graphics that one can use to enhance the Microsoft Word documents: drawing objects (drawing object: Any graphic one draws or insert, which can be changed and enhanced. Drawing objects include AutoShapes, curves, lines, and WordArt.) and pictures (picture: A file (such as a metafile) that one can ungroup and manipulate as two or more objects, or a file that stays as a single object (such as bitmaps).). Drawing objects include AutoShapes, diagrams, curves, lines, and WordArt drawing objects. These objects are part of the Word document. Use the Drawing toolbar to change and enhance these objects with colors, patterns, borders, and other effects.
