- Not just from the computer but also you can find and insert on-line from your web-browser or social networks. Such are Facebook twitter Instagram and etc, they all are the way to insert pictures for your office documents. But sometimes you need to add shapes or draw a new shape for your documents. For this option also you have many ways to add.
- I am having an Excel 2010 workbook with macros. Neither book nor worksheets are protected nor shared. I had a macro button in the sheet which has disappeared. When trying to insert a picture, a shape, a diagram or controls in draft mode, all of those functions appear disabled in the menu.
Note
Office 365 ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. For more information about this change, read this blog post.
How to add a shape, color it, and type in it by Niles Harlan, Alvaro Reyes, Aaron Lampman, Christopher Bryan. Any new Mac will come with a free copy of Apple's Pages software, which is a hugely powerful tool for creating and editing documents, and also works well with its iOS/iPadOS counterpart app. There is no option to add shapes in the insert tabs in Ms Word Online 365. If it is relevant I am using the free student version.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:

- In a Microsoft Word document, you insert several shapes.
- You insert a connector to link two of the shapes.
- You select one of the shapes, and you move the shape to a different location.
In this scenario, the connector does not move with the shape.
Cause
This behavior occurs because the connector is not connected to the shape.

Resolution
To resolve this behavior, insert the shapes and connector in a new drawing canvas. When the shapes and connector are inserted in a new drawing canvas, the connector is connected to the shape. And, the connector remains connected to the shape when you move the shape.
