HOW TO DRAW A LIGHTED CANDLE IN MS WORD PART 3
MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 23 PART 3
TITLE: HOW TO DRAW A LIGHTED CANDLE IN MS WORD
TYPE: GRAPHIC DESIGN
(B) HOW TO CREATE THE EFFECTS FOR THE ILLUSTRATION?
Users of Microsoft Word 2010 and 2007 can create effects for graphics with the tools on the Format tab. Click at a drawing object to reveal the Format tab on the Standard Toolbar. Click the arrow next to Shape Fill and you will find most of the tools needed to create effects for your graphics. The Gradient option with a variety of variations is mostly used to create 3-D effects to drawing objects. By the way, if MS Word has the Feathering option like Photoshop, the candle light effect will be more realistic. I will use a table to explain how these effects are created.
