Приложение Word — компонент пакета Office, разработанного корпорацией Microsoft. В первую очередь это текстовый редактор, а во вторую — графический. В стандартном наборе средств для рисования не так много, а удобство работы с рисунками уступает специализированным программам. Однако для решения простых задач функционал подходит.

Не всем пользователям известно, как рисовать в Ворде. Для этого в приложении применяется ручной метод и шаблонный. В первом случае изображение создается примерно так же, как и в Paint, только еще проще. Второй вариант подразумевает использование готовых образцов.

Включаем панель рисования в Word 2019

Для работы с графикой в приложении 2019 г. выпуска на компьютере без сенсорного экрана средства рисования нужно добавить через ленту настроек.

Чтобы это сделать, необходимо:

  1. Открыть слева сверху вкладку «Файл».
  2. Перейти к пункту «Параметры».
  3. Открыть настройки ленты.
  4. В окне «Основные вкладки» поставить галочку напротив пункта «Рисование», чтобы включить указанную вкладку.
  5. Подтвердить добавление, нажав кнопку «ОК».

После этого в блоке инструментов появится вкладка «Рисование».

Панель инструментов рисования для Word 2016 и ниже

Рисование в Word происходит по тому же принципу, что и в растровом редакторе Windows — Paint. При этом многие пользователи не знают о существовании такой функции по той причине, что графического интерфейса нет в основном меню приложения.

Для добавления инструментов применяется следующая инструкция:

  1. Открываем сверху вкладку «Вставка».
  2. Переходим в категорию «Иллюстрации» и нажимаем на треугольник под пунктом «Фигуры».
  3. Перемещаемся в низ выпадающего списка и щелкаем мышкой по кнопке «Новое полотно».

После этого появится панель «Средства рисования» и станут доступны соответствующие инструменты.

Инструменты для рисования

Встроенный графический редактор в MS Word оснащен базовыми функциями. С его помощью можно создавать картинки и чертить линии, применяя шаблоны или карандаш. Ниже рассмотрим каждое средство подробнее.

Рисование карандашом

Пользователи могут рисовать в Ворде пером или карандашом. Инструмент используется также, чтобы обвести текст и подчеркнуть фразы или слова.

Для применения этого графического средства следует:

  1. В разделе «Вставка» кликнуть мышкой по кнопке «Фигуры».
  2. Найти категорию «Линии».
  3. Выбрать «Рисованную кривую».

Инструмент позволяет создать рисунки от руки в Ворд, линию и дугу. Однако двигать мышку рукой нужно очень плавно, чтобы у такой фигуры, как прямоугольник или куб получились ровные края. Нарисованную картинку можно заливать цветом. С помощью кривой можно также обводить слова в тексте.

Чтобы нарисовать спираль, зажимаем левую клавишу мышки в том месте, где будет находиться центр кривой. Далее ведем линию дугой, поворачивая в нужных местах, до конечной точки. Кнопку отпускаем только в конце.

Если нужно залить фигуру, ее необходимо щелкнуть по ней правой клавишей мыши и открыть в выпадающем меню пункт «Формат». Либо сразу выбрать соответствующую функцию.

В настройках переходим в раздел «Заливка», выбираем тип заполнения и цвет.

Там же в настройках формата можно выбрать другой тип и цвет линий, наложить эффекты (тень, подсветка, рельеф), а также добавить текст.

Рисование фигурами

В Ворде можно рисовать фигуры по готовым шаблонам.

Для этого следует в верхней ленте открыть раздел «Вставка» и в категории «Иллюстрации» щелкнуть по пункту «Фигуры».

В появившемся списке можно увидеть доступные типы изображений:

  1. Линии. Все виды линий, стрелок и их гибриды.
  2. Прямоугольники: стандартные, со скругленными и вырезанными углами.
  3. Основные фигуры: смайлики, сердечки, геометрические формы, скобки, уголки, рамки и т. д.
  4. Фигурные стрелки. Всевозможные вариации стрелок.
  5. Знаки для уравнений.
  6. Блок-схемы. Это фигуры для создания графических алгоритмов, изображающие последовательность выполнения процесса или решения задачи.
  7. Звезды и ленты.
  8. Выноски. Разнообразные средства, которые используются для примечаний, иллюстрации мыслей или речи.

В том же диалоговом окне снизу можно создать полотно, чтобы сделать рисунок на нем. При его использовании автоматически добавится раздел «Средства рисования», где добавление фигур можно будет найти в левом верхнем углу.

Для поворота фигуры нужно щелкнуть по ней, зажать соответствующий значок левой клавишей мышки и вращать изображение, пока оно не примет нужное положение.

Рисование блок схемами

Сделать чертеж в Ворде с помощью специальных графических моделей тоже можно. Блок-схема — отображение алгоритма либо процесса на картинке.

Чтобы нарисовать такие элементы, следует:

  1. Перейти в верхней панели на вкладку «Вставка» и в разделе «Иллюстрации» нажать на кнопку «Фигуры».
  2. В выпадающем списке перейти в категорию «Блок-схема» и кликнуть по нужному элементу.
  3. Выбранная форма добавится в документ.

Одновременно с этим для работы с созданным объектом в ленте сверху появится вкладка «Формат» с инструментами рисования и форматирования.

Редактирование фигур

Чтобы изменить созданную фигуру, необходимо использовать средства раздела «Формат». Там доступно изменение заливки объекта, контура, перемещение и наложение эффектов.

Для смены заливки следует:

  1. Нажать сверху на кнопку «Заливка».
  2. Далее нужно выбрать тип заполнения объекта из предложенных вариантов. Пользователям доступны цвета из стандартного набора или спектра, наложение рисунка, градиентная и текстурная заливки. Указываем нужный вариант.
  3. Параметры фигуры сразу поменяются.

Для изменения стиля в верхней панели ищем категорию «Стили» и щелкаем по кнопке с понравившимися характеристиками. Если навести на нее мышкой, снизу появится подсказка с описанием формата.

Цвет, толщина и стиль контура тоже настраиваются в верхней ленте после нажатия на параметр «Контур».

Аналогичным образом накладываются эффекты. Среди доступных: заготовка, тень, подсветка, рельеф, отражение, сглаживание и поворот.

Функция перемещения находится в разделе «Упорядочивание». Там же можно настроить положение объекта относительно текста: отдельно либо с обтеканием. Пользователь может переместить фигуру на передний или задний план, выше или ниже по уровню, за текстом либо перед ним. А еще доступно выставление точных размеров.

    Following that, a window will open in which we will choose the option that says on the left side «Customize Ribbon». Then, in the window that will open after having chosen the option, we will select in the command drop-down the option that says «Tools tab».

    Многие люди, начинающие знакомится с Word’ом а в частности работающие с таблицами задаются вопросом, как их редактировать? И где найти ластик в ворде 2010?

    Что такое Word

    В 1983 году Ричард Броди написал первую версию программы для первых IBM PC, он придумывал свой текстовый процессор чтобы облегчить жизнь другим людям, и вскоре после выхода на рынок программа «Выстрелила» и получила широкое распространение, что мотивировало создателя улучшать свое программное обеспечение. Но не всем нужен был большой функционал в ущерб простоте, некоторые офисные работники просто не могли запомнить сложные комбинации клавиш и предпочли уйти к конкуренту, но их процент был так мал, что развитию программы ничего не могло помешать. Первая версия для системы Windows продавалась по внушительной цене в 500$, этим ходом Microsoft показала, что может компания на рынке программного обеспечения. И вновь это ПО получило немалый спрос, послужили этому и функции паролей на документ, и работа с таблицами, и ещё много других инструментов которые не могли предложить конкуренты простому пользователю на тот момент. Самые популярные версии Word были созданы в 2007 и 2010 году. Разработка этого продукта не прекращается по сей день, и после прочтения этой статьи вы узнаете, как найти ластик в ворде 2010.

    Как создать таблицы

    Для начала давайте разберемся, зачем и кому в ворде нужны таблицы? Несомненно, это очень важная функция этой программы, её используют бухгалтеры, люди составляющие новостные статьи, отчеты, и многое другое.Вы можете не замечать, но это несомненно полезное изобретение используется чуть ли не везде в повседневной жизни. Да и для того чтобы панель с заветным инструментом появилась, нужно создать таблицу. Но как создать таблицу, если ты работаешь в этой программе впервые, и потерялся среди всего функционала? Что бы сделать таблицу нам нужно перейти во вкладку вставить> Таблица> Вставка таблицы. Смотрим на фото внизу.

    После этого вам нужно будет указать число столбцов, число строк, и еще некоторые параметры, и данный элемент впишется в вашу работу, осталось только заполнить его.

    Если вам нужна более точная настройка, будь то форма, размер, или количество столбцов не беда! Можно сделать и это, вам нужно нажать Вставить> Таблица> Нарисовать таблицу.

    Далее нарисовать простейший прямоугольник и уже в нем разграничивать таблицу как угодно, с любой шириной, и длиной.

    Применение

    Часто задаются довольно известные вопросы. Как найти ластик? И для чего применить? В обычном мире стирательную резинку в основном используют художники чтобы убирать след от карандаша, так же повсеместно используется в школе для тех же целей.

    Ластик и карандаш используются только для взаимодействия с таблицами, и пока вы их не создадите, данный элемент интерфейса не появится.Так где же найти ластик в ворде? После создания таблицы вы увидите заветную панель:

Если вы хотите убрать линию, то просто выберите ластик и нажмите по нужной линии. Хотелось мне ещё уточнить один вопрос, как-то спросили меня, а можно сделать ластик больше. Насколько я знаю ворде это сделать нельзя. Лично мне неизвестны такие способы. Но точно могу сказать, что это делается в другой программе Paint. В ней вы можете легко увеличить ластик и даже доступно 4 варианта его размера, поэтому именно в этой программе вы сможете сделать ластик меньше или больше, там есть такая возможность.

    Заключение

    Итак, сегодня вы узнали кто и зачем создал данную программу, и как облегчить себе жизнь используя весь её функционал.

    Так же вы узнали где находится ластик в ворде, надеемся, что статья была полезной, и помогла вам разобраться во всех интересующих вопросах.

    Ластик будет очень полезным инструментом если вы часто работаете с таблицами, он несомненно поможет вам в исправлении ошибок. Но существуют и отрицательные стороны использования этого инструмента, вы легким движением руки можете стереть целый блок, или столбец, что конечно же вас не обрадует. Для таблиц он является, как инструмент работы с ними. Думаю теперь это понятно и до новых встреч на моём сайте, ждите новых статей от меня. Всем удачи!

    While Microsoft Word isn’t the best drawing tool, you can create basic drawings or scribbles in Word directly. Here’s how.

    Microsoft Word isn’t essential software for graphics designers, and for a good reason. It’s true—Microsoft Word isn’t best suited for drawing, but it does have some built-in drawing tools you can use, should you need to.

    For simple drawings, you can draw in Word directly using shapes, lines, or pen tools. If you want to draw in Microsoft Word, here’s what you’ll need to do.

    These instructions have been designed with Microsoft Office 2019 in mind. Note that Microsoft 365 (formerly O365) is the Office suite with 1 TB of OneDrive per user. While the steps may work for older versions of Word, there may be some variations or missing features.

    Using Microsoft Word Drawing Tools

    There are two sets of drawing tools available to Microsoft Word users. If you want to draw basic, block-like images, you can insert shapes or lines into your Word document and group them together. You might want to do this if you’re creating a diagram or flow chart, for instance.

    Alternatively, you can turn Word into your own personal canvas using pen drawing tools. If you have a touchscreen device or a graphics tablet, you can create freehand drawings.

    To insert shapes, you’ll need to press the Insert tab on the ribbon bar. For freehand drawings, press the Draw tab instead.

    The Insert and Draw ribbon bar tabs in Word

    Inserting Shapes into Microsoft Word

    If you’re not confident of your freehand drawing ability, or you want to create diagrams in Word, you can insert shapes.

    There are hundreds of pre-set shapes available. You can draw typical shapes like squares or circles or insert arrows, stars, speech bubbles, and more. To insert a shape, press the Insert tab on the ribbon bar, then press the Shapes button.

    This will list the various shape options in a drop-down menu for you to choose from.

    The Shapes button and menu in Word

    Press on one of the pre-set shapes or line options to select it—your cursor will change at this point.

    The drawing cursor in Microsoft Word

    Once this happens, draw onto your Word document directly to insert the shape or line you selected. This allows you to select the appropriate size for your shape.

    With the shape inserted and selected, Word will switch to the Format tab on the ribbon bar. From here, you can format your shape.

    The Format tab in Word

    For instance, add text to your shape and begin typing with the shape selected–the text will be inserted inside the shape.

    You can also change the color and style of your shape, as well as the position and alignment of any inserted text, using the options listed in the Format tab.

    Creating Freehand Drawings in Word

    If you want to create more original Word drawings, you can use various pen drawing tools to draw onto a Word document. You can do this using a mouse or trackpad, or more precisely, using a touchscreen device or graphics tablet.

    To start, press the Draw tab on the ribbon bar. This will display the pen drawing tool options for you to use.

    The Draw tab on the Word ribbon bar

    Three drawing options are available under the Tools section. Press Draw with Touch to begin drawing with one of the pen tools, Eraser to switch to the eraser tool, or Select to select your drawings as objects to move, copy, or delete them.

    Draw tools in Word

    A list of available pens to draw with is shown under the Pens category. There are three drawing pens available—Pencil, Pen, and Highlighter.

    As you’d expect, using the Pencil tool inserts a finer, less precise drawing line to your document. The Pen tool is the opposite—lines are clearer, thicker, and more defined. The Highlighter tool can be used for emphasis, adding color to your drawings.

    Several pre-set colors and designs are available already in the Pens category—select one of these to begin drawing. Alternatively, you can create your own by pressing the Add Pen button and selecting one of the tools listed in the drop-down menu.

    The Add Pen button in Word

    This will add a new pen design to the Pens category, with a settings drop-down menu. From here, you can set the thickness and color of the pen tool, with a preview of the pen design at the top.

    Pen settings in Word

    You can edit these in the future by hovering over a pen design and press the arrow icon in the bottom-left corner.

    The Pen tool option button in Word

    With your drawing pen tool selected and configured, you can begin drawing onto your Word document directly.

    Creating a Drawing Canvas in Word

    Word allows you to draw onto a Word document without constraints. If you’d prefer to draw onto a much smaller area of your Word document, however, you can insert a drawing canvas.

    A drawing canvas groups your drawing into a single object which can then be moved, resized, or copied elsewhere. To do this, press the Drawing Canvas button in the Insert section of the Draw tab.

    The Drawing Canvas button in Word

    This will insert the canvas into your Word document. You will only be able to draw inside the canvas object’s borders– anything drawn outside of this will be ignored.

    Designing Microsoft Word Documents

    While it hasn’t been designed with drawing in mind, you can still use shapes, lines, and freehand pen drawings to create simplistic images in Microsoft Word. You can use shapes to create a flow chart or diagram or use free-hand drawings to show your artistic drawing skills.

    You can insert and edit images in Microsoft Word too, but don’t forget Word’s main purpose. If you’re designing new documents, you may prefer to use building blocks to help you create them more quickly.
