SECTION 3
Lesson 3.5: Using Objects

   

 

 

1.

Open Microsoft Office Word 2003.

Open the Stop Sign document from the Sample Files folder.

 

 

2.

Click the black rectangle.

Click the Draw menu. Click Order and click Send to Back.

 

 

 

3.

Click to select both parts of the stop sign.

Click the Draw menu and click Group.

 

 

 

4.

Take the stop sign and drag it to the middle of the page. (You may want to zoom out to do this.)

 

 

 

5.

Oops! We left a part behind. Because we moved the stop sign outside the drawing canvas, we must move the text box first and then re-group our objects.

Drag the text box so it’s back in the stop sign.

 

 

6.

Now, select both the text box and the stop sign.

Click the Draw menu and click Group.

 

 

 

7.

Click the Insert menu and click Object.

Click Bitmap Image and click OK.

 

 

 

8.

Click the Edit menu and click Edit Colours.

Pick a green colour and click OK.

 

 

 

 

 

9.

Click the Airbrush icon on the left hand side.

Paint some grass into the object.

 

 

 

10.

Click outside the object window to close the Paint screen and return to Word.

 

 

11.

Place your cursor beside the new object.

Press the Enter key four times; this should move the object down.

 

 

 

12.

Now, drag the stop sign until it is in the grass.

 

 

 

13.

Now, click in the middle of the page to highlight the drawing canvas.

Press the Delete key on your keyboard.

 

 

 

14.

Close Microsoft Office Word 2003.
