Learn how to insert shapes in Microsoft Word. In addition, we will change the shape color, outline, and effects such as shadows and reflections. Then, we will place shapes behind text and other objects.

Sometimes shapes placed behind text or other objects can be difficult to select, so we will also look at how to select them regardless of their location.

Shapes include circles, squares, rectangles, arrows, lines, hearts, flowchart symbols, banners, and speech bubbles.

These steps apply to Word for Microsoft 365, Word for Microsoft 365 for Mac (a.k.a. Word for Mac) Word 2021, Word 2019, Word 2016, and Word 2013.
