UPDATED INFORMATION For Microsoft Office 2010 (especially Word) The publication Learn Microsoft Draw: a Tutorial Guide by Neal Utting was published in 2000 by Edent Resources. This was based A Tutorial Guide on Microsoft Draw 98, which was included in Microsoft Office 97, but could also be downloaded separately at that time (but not able to be used outside the applications it was included in). Later versions of Word — 2000, XP (2002), and 2003 — included the drawing tools largely unchanged. The tools are also included in Microsoft Publisher 2002 and later versions of this up to 2010. Some significant features (not available in Word) are included: Drawing tools are in the ribbons, rather than the toolbar Text in text boxes can be rotated Pictures can be saved, in a variety of formats, including JPEG, TIF, BMP, and vector formats WMF and EMF The following notes should be used when using the book Learn Microsoft Draw: a Tutorial Guide with the drawing tools in Microsoft Office 2010 (especially for Word and PowerPoint) Omit Modules 1 – 7 Module 8: There is no Drawing Toolbar.

Drawing With Publisher The set of drawing tools in Microsoft Publisher prior to the 2002 version was different from those in Microsoft Office (see Learn Microsoft Draw, pages 60-1). With versions 2002 - 2007 the tools are present (at the left of the screen, in the Formatting toolbar at the top, and in the Arrange menu). There are at least three significant differences: Drawings in Publisher (2002 and later) can be saved, in a variety of formats: select the drawing; right-click; click on Save as Picture; select the format. Vector formats are Windows Metafile (*.wmf) and Enhanced Metafile (*.emf, recommended — scroll down for this). These have smaller files, smooth curves, and pictures can be enlarged clearly; type a filename; click on Save Group/Ungroup Objects. When two or more objects are selected, the Group icon appears at the bottom; clicking on this icon groups the selected objects. appears; clicking on this ungroups the obWhen a group is selected, the Ungroup icon jects.
