Figures in Word: add, modify, group. Working with objects in MS Word. Related Objects How to Make a Word Mirror Reflection
One of the most unusual tasks that users set in front of the paper is how to change the text of the text in the Word and make a mirror text? This task is complicated by the fact that its decision is unlikely to be found in various Word books.
Here, of course, will not help. The key to solving this task lies in the consideration of the text not as letters, but as an object that you need to turn around the axis.
One of the objects in the Word, in which you can enter the text, this is a text field. Find this menu item on the tab "Insert".
Now, to change the direction of text in the Word and make a mirror text, we need to rotate the text field for which we go to the menu "Figure format" On the tab "Format"which appears when highlighting text field.
On the menu "Figure format" Select section "Figure Parameters" and in paragraph "Turn the volumetric figure" Turning angle of text. For a mirror image of the text relative to the vertical axis, fit 180 degrees in the graph "Rotation around the X axis", and the mirror image of the text relative to the horizontal axis, too, fit into the column "Rotation around the Y axis". If the checkbox will be installed "Leave text flat"The text will not rotate along with the figure.
After applying these settings, the material will be assigned to our text field. "Warm matte" And the text will be displayed on a gray background. To make the background transparent, choose the material "Wire", To hide the contour of the shape, choose a white color corresponding to the background of our page.
Often it is necessary to artistically issue texts or provide them with an illustrative material. Word. Provides the ability to insert into text or one of the standard patterns by the command Box / Figure / Pictures or drawing of a pre-prepared file of the team Insert / drawing / file. Word. Supports inserting most of the well-known formats of external graphic files ( bMP, GIF, JPG, PCX, TIF, WMF and etc.).
Simple drawings can be performed by the program itself. Word.. Graphic objects include autofigurines, curves, lines and objects Wordart.. To change these objects, as well as their colors, fills, borders and other parameters, serves the toolbar. Painting. It opens team View / Tool / Drawing Panel.
IN Word. This includes a set of finished autofigur, which can be used in documents. You can change their size, rotate, reflect and combine with other figures to create more complex figures. Menu Autofigurians On the toolbar Painting Contains several categories of figures: lines, basic figures, block diagrams, stars and ribbons, as well as callouts.
To carry out a straight line you need to choose from the list Autofigurians paragraph LinesAnd then select the type of line (). When conducting a line, it is necessary to consider: so that the angle of the line was shorten 15 degrees, you should hold the key; So that the line continues in both directions from the starting point is to hold down the key.
Tool Curve Used to draw curves with increased accuracy. For drawing a curve on the toolbar Painting need to click the button Autofigurians And choose a command Linesand then - tool Curve . First you need to click the beginning of the figure, and then move the mouse, clicking in those places where the curve nodes should be placed. To leave the curve unlocked, you need to double-click any of its point. To shorten the shapes, click on its starting point.
Tool Polylia Used to obtain better drawings, without stepped lines and sharp semen direction. To carry out curvilinear segments use dragging. For the rectilinear segment, click the beginning and end of the segment. To leave the curve unlocked, twice click any of its point. For closing the shape, click near her starting point.
So that the object is similar to the pencil drawn, use the tool Hand drawn curve . The resulting figure will have almost the same appearance as on the screen.
If you need to edit an existing curve or multiline, then it should be highlighted on the toolbar Painting Release List Actions and choose it in it Start changing knots. To change the form of the object, you need to drag one of its nodes. To add a node to the object, it is enough to click the place where it should be added. Remove the node by clicking on it when the key is pressed. If after selecting the command Start changing knots Click the node right-click Mice, then a context menu appears on the screen, containing commands designed to add, delete and change the type of nodes.
Other list items Autofigurians contain a large number of diverse graphic objects:
To insert the correct figure (square, circle) you should choose the tool Oval or Rectangle, But when drawing, hold down the key.
From individual graphic objects, you can create a rather complicated pattern. In order for the program to consider it (or some part of it) as a whole, you should select the necessary objects and give the command Actions / group. After that, copying or moving this pattern is easier. If you need to edit any object included in the group, you should first give the command Actions / ungroup.
For ease of creating drawings, commands entered Rotate / reflect, align / distribute (in particular Align in the center - convenient when drawing concentric circles), Shift, order.
The graphic grid is designed to align graphic objects, such as autofigur. When moving an object or autofiguri, alignment is made using the nearest lines graphic grid. By default, the graphic grid lines are not visible on the screen, however, it is possible to display them. The gaps between the default graphics grid lines are 0.13 inches (the minimum distance is 0.1cm), but it is possible to change and vertical, and horizontal gaps between the graphic grid lines. Customize the grid can be a command Actions / grid.
Word. It provides an opportunity not only to add a picture, but also to place it in the desired manner in relation to the rest. The desired way to flow around the pattern text can be specified by the team Actions / flow around text. Another way to set the position of the pattern in the text: Right-click on the drawing and in the opening context menu Select item Format object. On the tab Position You can set the desired way to flow around the text, and to clarify some parameters, click on the button Additionally.
In the drawing, you can insert any text using the tool Inscription . To do this, you need to mark or highlight the frame by holding the left mouse button, the place in the document where you need to insert the inscription. The flashing cursor will appear inside the frame. Format the font lettering can in conventional method. Click the mouse outside the inscription makes it part of the drawing. To edit the inscriptions, just click on it with the mouse.
The text can also be added to the autofiguro and use it as an inscription. To add text, you need to right-click any shape (except direct lines and polyline), select the command Add text In the context menu, and then enter the desired text. To change or add an existing text to select the command Change text In the context menu, and then make the necessary changes.
The type of graphic objects, including the inscriptions, can be improved by changing the type and color of lines, fillings and font, applying the effects of giving the volume or shading using the panel tools Painting.
To insert artistic text, a button is used Add an object Wordart. On the toolbar Painting. With this tool, you can create inclined, rotated and stretched text, as well as text with shadow and text, inscribed in certain figures. The desired type of text is chosen from the opening palette Wordart Collection. Then text in the dialog box Changing the text Wordart.The font format is set and press the OK button. Since the decorated text is graphic objectYou can also use other button toolbar buttons. Drawing, for example, make text filling by any pattern.
When when working in MS Word, there is a need to turn the text, not all users know how it can be done. To effectively solve this task, look at the text not as a set of letters, but as an object. It is above the object that various manipulations can be performed, including the rotation around the axis in any accurate or arbitrary direction.
The topic of turning text we have already been considered earlier, in the same article I want to talk about how in the Word to do mirror reflection text. The task, though it seems more complex, but is solved by the same method and pair of additional clicks with the mouse.
1. Create a text field. To do this in the tab "Insert" in a group "Text" Select "Text field".
2. Copy the text you want to reflect the mirror ( Ctrl + C.) and insert into the text field ( Ctrl + V.). If the text is still on printed, enter it directly into the text field.
3. Perform the necessary manipulations over the text within the text field - change the font, size, color, and other important parameters.
Mirror reflection of text
You can reflect the text mirroring in two directions - relatively vertical (from top to bottom) and horizontal (left to right) axes. In both cases, this can be done using tab tools. "Format"that appears on the panel quick access After adding a figure.
1. Click on the text field by the text field twice to open the tab. "Format".
2. In group "Sort" Press the button "To turn" and select "Reflect from left to right" (horizontal reflection) or "Reflect from top to bottom" (vertical reflection).
3. Text inside the text field will be mirrored.
Make a transparent text box, for this, follow these steps:
- Right-click on the field and click on the button "Circuit";
- In the drop-down menu, select the parameter "No contour".
Horizontal reflection can also be done manually. To do this, it is easy to simply change the top and bottom edge of the text field figure. That is, you need to click on the average marker on the top of the top and pull it down, placing under the bottom face. The shape of the text field, the arrow of its turn will also be downstairs.
Now you know how to mirror the text in Word.
On the Tool Taskbar Drawing contains a button. Autofigurians. It allows you to add several categories of figures: lines, connecting lines, basic figures, block diagrams, stars and ribbons, as well as callouts.
