Have you ever wanted a curved line in your MS Word document? Well, with a little tweak here and there you can do it!
Follow the steps below:
- Launch MS Word if it is not already open.
- Make sure the Drawing toolbar is displayed.
- If the Drawing toolbar is not displayed, follow the steps below:
- Click on View | Toolbars and select Drawing, or right click on an empty space on the toolbar areas and select Drawing.
- On the Drawing toolbar, click on AutoShapes. Word will display a menu of different shapes.
- Click on the Lines option. Word will display a palette of different variations of lines.
- Click on the Curve option. You will see it at the bottom left corner of the palette.
- Click at the point in your document where you want the curve to begin.
- Click at each point where you want the line to curve.
- When you reach the place where you want the curve to end, double-click.
You may have to fiddle with it a bit o get exactly the curve you desire, but keep at it.
The curve will be treated the same as any other graphic image in your document.
