Notes
Microsoft Word (and the other members of the Office Suite) have a range of drawing tools based on shape objects. They are often suitable for pictures and diagrams that are not too detailed or require sophisticated techniques. In particular, Word's drawing tools offer a variety of shapes that can be stretched, scaled, and in some instances altered.
