The process may seem time consuming but it really helps in the long run. Steps to Group Shapes Elements to Make an Object Let us tell you how you could group all the shapes elements (that make your picture/diagram) and make it a single object so that you could move them all at once. Intelligent, isn’t it? Surely, you do that because you have missed a wonderful feature that MS Word offers. I have seen people taking screenshots of their own diagram to later insert it back to the document as an image.
Will you start selecting each element to move it and rearrange your diagram? For once it may be ok, but it becomes really irritating if you end doing it often.
Now, God help you if you have to do some document formatting which counts on you moving your diagram to a new page or new location. You would know then that it takes quite some effort and a number of shapes (lines, arrows, boxes, circles, text…) to complete one whole diagram. You must have at one time or the other used the Shapes tool in MS Word to draw objects, diagrams, etc.
