Microsoft Word 2007 has vector graphic drawing tools that can be used to enhance a document. These drawing tools include shapes, lines, points and geometric figures. The shapes gallery has seven categories which include basic shapes, block arrows and stars and banners. Each category has several drawing objects to choose from and you can keep track of the shapes that have been used with the "Recently Used Shapes" category.
