Using a canvas is a bit easier, as everything is contained in one program. Then cut and paste to put it in the canvas.Īn alternative to using a drawing canvas is to combine the Prism graph, text, images and shapes on a PowerPoint slide, and then copy and paste that to Word. So if you want to crop a Prism graph, paste it first right onto the Word page, and use Format Object to crop it. One caution: Once you paste an object (as opposed to a picture) onto a canvas, it cannot be cropped. Putting them into a canvas keeps them together and away from the flowing text, and lets you control their arrangement with one another. If you insert those items individually right on the page, they get entangled with flowing text. Paste in a Prism graph, add text, import images, insert shapes and equations. That 'canvas' is an area where you can combine images. At the bottom of that menu, choose New Drawing Canvas. In Word 2007-2016 (Windows only), go to the Insert tab, find the Illustrations section, and drop the Shapes menu. This is an almost hidden feature in Word for Windows that some Prism users would find useful.
