16.  Microsoft Word makes it easy to add geometric
shapes (and a whole lot more) to your document.
You can also add text into these shapes, which is
handy when you’re creating flowcharts, network
diagrams, mind maps, and so on. This being Word,
there are plenty of options for doing this, so let’s
take a look.
 First, you’ll need to insert a shape by going to
Insert > Shapes. We’re going to use a nice rounded
rectangle, which by default will be filled in with
blue.

17.  Right-click anywhere in your shape and click the
“Add Text” command

18.  This places an insertion point in the shape where
you can type your text. Once you’ve added
whatever you want to write, the “Format” tab has
tools you can use to give your text a little pop with
things like text styles and shading.

image to appear.
 Select the Insert tab.

the Illustrations group. The Insert Picture dialog
box appears.

removing the background of a picture directly, in
Microsoft Office and found it worth sharing here
with the readers of TWC. This feature helps remove
the background in just a few clicks and can help
highlight the subject of the picture, by removing
the background. You can remove the background
of any picture using Word, PowerPoint or
even Excel.

22.  Paste the picture in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or
Excel. I am using Microsoft Word here.
 Go to the ‘Format Painter’ and then click the
picture. This will open the ‘Format’ tab in your
Word.
 Click on ‘Remove Background’ and you will get the
marquee lines on the picture. Use the handles to
select the area you want to keep and exclude the
areas you want to remove. The deselected areas
will turn purple.
 Check out this picture showing the marquee line
handles and background removal lines

24.  Click on ‘Keep the changes’, once you are done
with the selection. If you have done it wrong, you
can always reset the picture and do it once again.
You can also discard all the changes by clicking
‘Discard all changes’.

25.  Select the image. The Format tab will appear.
 Click the Format tab.
 Click the Wrap Text command in the Arrange group.
 Select the desired menu option. The text will adjust based on the option you have selected.
