Drawing Lines, Shapes, and Graphs

Besides drawing free-form lines starting on the Draw tab, you can draw straight lines, shapes, and graphs:

  • Straight lines: Draw lines, lines with arrows, and lines at 90-degree angles.

  • Shapes: Draw rectangles, ovals, parallelograms, triangles, and diamonds.

  • Graphs: Draw two- and three-dimensional graphs.

To draw a line, shape, or graph, start by clicking the Color & Thickness button and choosing a line thickness and color in the Color & Thickness dialog box. Then select a line, shape, or graph in the Insert Shapes gallery and drag on the page with a pen device or the mouse.
