How to Draw in Microsoft Word 2013

Do you need to add something to your Word 2013 document, but the only way that you can accurately express the information is through a drawing? Fortunately you can draw in Microsoft Word 2013 with the Scribble shape. This will allow you to make a freehand drawing directly in your document. Word will then convert the drawing to a shape object, where you can adjust the appearance of the shape that you just drew.

 

Note that Word will create a new shape every time that you let go of your mouse with the scribble shape, so you will need to re-select it after letting go. You can also select one of the other shapes on the menu in step 3 below, if your needs require a specific shape or straight lines.

 

Freehand Drawing in Microsoft Word 2013

The steps in this article will show you how to do freehand drawing in a Microsoft Word document. You will be selecting the “Scribble” shape, which gives you complete control over what is output on your screen. You can also draw freely anywhere in the document, even on top of text that has already been entered.

Please note that drawing in Microsoft Word can be very difficult. If you find that you are having trouble achieving your desired result, then you may have more luck with Microsoft Paint, or with a more advanced tool like Adobe Photoshop.

 

Step 1: Open a document in Microsoft Word 2013.

 

Step 2: Click the Insert tab at the top of the window.



 

 

Step 3: Click the Shapes button in the Illustrations section of the navigational ribbon, then click the Scribble button in the Lines section.



 

 

Step 4: Use your mouse to draw on the canvas. The drawing shape will be completed once you let go of the mouse, which will bring up a new Drawing Tools option. This menu will have options for ways to change the color of the drawing, or to change the fill color.



 

 

If you need to draw more, then you can re-click the Scribble shape at the left side of the navigational ribbon, as in the image below.



 

 

Note that drawing in Microsoft Word can be somewhat difficult, even frustrating at times. If you find that the drawing capabilities of Word are limited, then you might have better luck drawing in Microsoft Paint and inserting the saved Paint drawing into your document. This article will show you how to insert a picture in Word 2013.

Why is My Word 2013 Screen Split Into Two?

Microsoft Word 2013 includes a large number of features that can make document editing easier in the right situation. But when that feature is enabled in the wrong situation, it can be difficult to work with. One such feature is the Split Screen, which adds a horizontal line across the middle of the window and displays your current document in two different locations.

 

While this is helpful when you need to reference another location while writing a new one, it can be distracting and often leads to editing of the wrong part of a document. Fortunately you can remove this split screen if you do not want it by following our short tutorial below.

 

Remove Split Screen in Word 2013

A split screen in Microsoft Word is meant to be helpful when you are writing or editing a section of your document, but you need to refer to a different section at the same time. Using a split screen prevents the need to scroll back and forth between these two locations. But when you are not using this feature for that purpose, it can be distracting, and it can cause potential problems. So follow our steps below to learn how to remove the split screen in Word 2013.

 

Step 1: Open Microsoft Word 2013.

 

Step 2: Click the View tab at the top of the window.



 

 

Step 3: Click the Remove Split button in the Windows section of the navigational ribbon at the top of the window.

How to View a Formula in a Word 2013 Table

Microsoft Word 2013 tables have some of the same features that you will find in an Excel 2013 spreadsheet, but Word is missing one of the more helpful elements of Excel. Word 2013 does not have a formula bar, which can make it difficult to check a formula that you have added to your table.

 

Fortunately there is a simple way to view the formulas in your table so that you can confirm that they are working correctly, or in case you need to troubleshoot a formula that is not outputting the correct result.

 

See the Formula Being Used in a Table in Word 2013

Step 1: Open your document in Word 2013.

 

Step 2: Locate the table containing the formula which you want to view.
