MS Word Drawing Toolbar and Drawing Tools Working
DRAWING TOOLBAR
Using the tools on the Microsoft Excel toolbars, you can draw graphic objects on worksheets and macro sheets. You can also import graphics, as pictures, from other applications to enhance the appearance of your worksheets and macro sheets.
With the tools on the Drawing toolbar, you can draw lines, arcs, and transparent or filled ovals, rectangles, and polygons. Once you have added a graphic object, you can change its position, shape, or size; group it with other graphic objects; make copies of it; and format its color, border, or pattern.
To display the Patterns dialog box so you can change formatting, double-click an object. You can also select an object and choose Patterns from the Format menu.
To move a drawn object to another location on the worksheet or macro sheet, drag the object.
To resize a drawn object, select the object, point to one of the handles, and drag until it is the size you want.
