Drawing Tutorial for Word?
I have a bit of info here, Wayne:
http://www.officearticles.com/misc/d...oft_office.htm Perhaps I should make an "extreme tutorial" for Drawing Tools? Not a bad idea.  ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "W.

Maybe I missed something, but one page is pretty thin. I would think someone would have produced a fairly through examination of how order, grouping, sizing, measurement, grids, rulers (if there are any) and the like work. I have no book to go on, so I just figure it out on the fly. So far so good, but there must be some organized primer on how this works. It would be interesting to see some advanced example of what some people have done. I suspect there are features I've missed. For example, someone mentioned use of the ctrl (shift?) with the arc that will produce an arc from a circle rather than some other way. Wayne T.

See if this helps you, Wayne:
http://www.officearticles.com/tutori...t_ office.htm If not, try to be more specific about the kinds of things you're looking for. (It may still need some organizing of the topics, though!) ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "W.

Never heard of Expression. I'll check it out. The gallery of graphics at the URL are impressive, but well beyond what I need.
