Arranging shapes in Word involves selecting the shape and using the 'Arrange' options available in the formatting tab.
To arrange shapes in your Microsoft Word document, you typically use the tools available when the shape is selected. This allows you to control their position, order (which shape is in front of another), alignment, and other layout properties.
Here are the steps to arrange a shape based on the provided information:
- Select the shape you want to arrange. Clicking on a shape will select it and usually make relevant formatting tabs appear.
- On the Shapes tab, select the Arrange button. This 'Shapes tab' refers to the contextual tab that becomes visible when a shape is selected.
- On the Arrange menu, select how you'd like to arrange the shape. This menu offers various options for modifying the shape's layout within the document.
The 'Arrange' menu provides controls for actions such as changing the shape's position on the page, altering its wrapping style relative to text, sending it backward or bringing it forward in layering, aligning it with other objects or the page margins, or rotating it.
By following these steps, you can precisely control the layout and interaction of shapes within your Word document.
