Drawing a Curve in Word

Source: WordTips by DCI

If you want to insert a curved line in your Word document, you can do
so by following these steps:


1. Make sure the Drawing toolbar is displayed.
2. Click on AutoShapes. Word displays a menu of different shape
categories.
3. Click on the Lines option. Word displays a palette of different
types of lines you can insert.
4. Click on the Curve option. (It is the one at the bottom left
corner of the palette.)
5. Click at the point in your document where you want the curve to
begin.
6. Click at each point where you want the line to curve.
7. When you reach the place where you want the curve to end,
double-click.


To get exactly the curve you want may take a bit of practice on your
part. Once a curve is placed in your document, it is treated the same
as any other graphic image.
