To create a shape in Microsoft Office Word, the following steps should be taken:

 

 

• Open a new document in Microsoft Word

• Select the “Insert” tab and click on “Shapes”

• Within the “Shapes” function, follow these steps

  • Under “Recently Used Shapes” use your cursor to select the diagonal line

  • Drag the line to the blank Word document and manipulate it until it is horizontal and approximately 4” long.  Note:  To ensure that the line is perfectly straight, you can click on “View” and then select “Gridlines” to use as a guide

  • When the line is straight, right click on it and select “Copy” to create a second line

  • Drag the second line so that it is approximately 2” above or below the first line

  • Repeat the same steps twice to create the two vertical lines

• After the rectangle is completed, click on “Shapes” again and select a circle from the “Basic Shapes” menu.  Place it in the rectangle on the left side

• From the right vertical line of the rectangle, create a triangle that is contained within the rectangle.   To create the lines, follow the same process in steps 3a-c.
