  • In a document, tap Apple Pencil in the body of a word-processing document where you want to write. Or tap in a text box, shape, or in a table cell in a word-processing or page layout document. Tap the Scribble tool in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, then start writing.
  • Creating a table in Word 2019. Tables organize text into rows and columns, which can make the text easy to type, edit, and format while spacing it correctly in your document. Tables organize text into cells, where a cell is the intersection of a row and a column. Word provides four ways to create a table: Click the Insert tab, click the Table icon, and then highlight the number of rows.

The Draw Table command lets you draw complicated tables in your Word 2007 documents by using a simple set of drawing tools. This command is ideal for creating tables that aren't a simple grid of rows and columns. Try using the Curve tool first, and after you get the hang of that one, try Freeform and Scribble. Click the Media button on the Standard toolbar to display the Media browser, if it isn't already visible. Click the Shapes tab and then choose Lines and Connectors from the pop-up menu. Click the Curve tool.

Miscellaneous

Using the Drawing tools in Microsoft Office is easy. Making perfect drawings is not. Is it making you crazy?

To use the Drawing tools, hit ViewToolbars and choose Drawing, or just hit the icon on your Standard toolbar.

Sometimes, the only way to select a graphic is by using the Selector Tool on the Drawing Toolbar.

Here's the Drawing toolbar, in case you're not familiar with it. I've extended the Drawing menu so you can see the options available there, which are so important, and of which so many people are unaware.

Here's some tips about using Drawing tools.

Drawing Tool In Microsoft Word For Mac
  • You can set the default of the objects by creating an item the way you like it and then right-click the object and choose Set AutoShape defaults.
  • Items move incrementally, by about one point (1/10th of an inch) whenever you drag them around with your mouse. To place them perfectly with your mouse, hold the Alt key while you drag.
  • Items move incrementally, by about one point (1/10th of an inch) whenever you move them around using your arrow keys. To get a more defined placement, hold your Ctrl key down while you use your arrow keys.
  • When you're done creating a drawing that is comprised of more than a few objects, such as a rectangle and a couple of arrows, select all the objects and group them. This turns them into one object as far as Microsoft Office is concerned, and keeps your documents from becoming corrupt-which occurs much more with document that contain multiple-object drawings than any other types of documents.
  • Can't draw an arrow or add a textbox to an existing picture in your document? Likely, it's because that picture is formatted as In Line with Text. First double-click the picture, go to the Layout tab and choose Float Over Text, then try again.
  • For best results when creating multiple drawings for a large document or report, create a PowerPoint presentation to hold your drawings. By doing this, you can create your drawings, then copy and paste them into your Word document as a picture (EditPaste Special..). This helps to minimize the size of your Word document, while retaining an editable form of the graphic. Real graphic artists work from their original source file, such as a CorelDraw file or a PhotoShop file, and they export to a graphic format, which is much smaller in size because it doesn't have to retain all the settings that the application uses with it.
  • You can tell an individual drawing object to print or not print in Excel, but in Word, you can only set them to all print, or set none to print. This makes drawing objects very cool to use for navigation in Excel.

You can also use Select and Scroll with Apple Pencil to select objects and scroll in your document.

Turn handwriting into text with Scribble

With Scribble, you can turn handwriting into text with an Apple Pencil on a supported iPad.* When you pair an Apple Pencil with an iPad, Scribble is on by default. To check the Scribble setting, or to turn it off, go to Settings > Apple Pencil on your iPad.

  2. Tap the Scribble tool in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, then start writing.

As you write with Apple Pencil, you can also delete words, insert text, and more:

  • To delete a word, scratch it out.
  • To insert text between words, tap and hold in a text area, then start writing when a space opens.
  • To join or separate characters, draw a vertical line between them.
  • To select text, circle it or draw a line through it. Drag the selection handles to change the selection.

The toolbar also has buttons to indent, format, and align text, as well as to insert page breaks, bookmarks, and more.
