Making a cross
Greetings,
How do I make a cross ( a big plus sign) and then type some text into each of its four quadrants? I used the draw feature. However, it is hard to make a perfectly symmetrical cross with that feature. What's more, I cannot get the cursor in the cross as it is a drawing, which makes it hard to obtain the cursor inside of the box that it was drawn in. Thank you kindly for your assistance. John |

Making a cross
I would create a table with 2 columns and 2 rows. Via Table Table
Properties Column tab and Rows tab, set the desired width of each column to half the width of your cross and set the height of each row to the same amount (select €śExactly€ť in the €śRow height is€ť field). Remove the outer borders and make sure to apply borders between the columns and rows (can be done via Format Borders and Shading Borders tab or via the Tables and Borders toolbar). Type your text in each of the four table cells. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "John" wrote: Greetings, How do I make a cross ( a big plus sign) and then type some text into each of its four quadrants?

Making a cross
I like Lene's idea of a table, but note that there is a cross AutoShape,
which you can draw, then right-click and choose "Add Text." -- Suzanne S.
