Inserting Shapes

• Create a new document and save the document as a file called My Shapes. Click on the Insert tab and then click on the Shapes icon.
  
  
  

• This will display a drop down from which you can select the shape you wish to insert into your document.
  
  
  

• We will insert a right pointing arrow into our document.  To do this click on the Right Arrow shape.
  
  
  

• You may not notice any change, but if you move the mouse pointer down over the white space within your document, you will notice that the mouse pointer has changed to the shape of a small cross.  Click (and hold the mouse button down).  Move the mouse pointer down diagonally across the page.  You will see a preview outline of the arrow displayed.  Release the mouse button and you will see an arrow shape displayed on your page.
  
  
  

• Save your changes and close the document.
