While creating shapes in Microsoft Word is fairly straightforward, it is a bit more complicated in a Google Doc. For example, perhaps you want to highlight part of an image or document with a circle or other shape like in the figure above.
Drag your cursor on the drawing matrix to size it. (No need for perfection! You will also be able to resize it directly in the Google Doc after it is inserted.) Choose “transparent” (bucket) if you just want the outline, and choose the line color and weight (same as regular tools in a Google doc).
When you click “save and close,” it will place the shape in your document. In my case, it placed the shape in my text rather than on the figure above. To change the location, choose “in front of text.” You can then move and resize your shape. |
