How to Insert Drawings in Google Docs

Introduction to Drawing in Google Docs

• The video tutorial focuses on how to insert drawings into Google Docs, emphasizing that drawings function similarly to images.

• Users can access the drawing feature through the "Insert" menu, with options to import from Drive or create a new drawing.

Creating and Customizing Titles

• A title can be created using WordArt; for example, typing "microprocesador" allows customization of font type, fill color, border color, and line thickness.

• After formatting the title, users can save it. The title behaves like an image within the document and can be adjusted or edited later.

Drawing Tools Overview

• To create a new drawing, users select "Insert," then "Drawing," followed by "New." Various tools are available for creating lines and shapes.

• Users can draw straight lines by clicking and dragging; they have options to customize line color, thickness, and end symbols (e.g., arrows).

Advanced Line Features

• Connectors and curves allow for more complex drawings. Double-clicking finishes a drawn shape while maintaining customizable parameters.

• Freehand lines can also be drawn by clicking and dragging without releasing the mouse button.

Inserting Shapes and Text Boxes

• Users can insert various shapes from a menu. For instance, inserting a speech bubble involves clicking and dragging to define its size.

• Text can be added directly into shapes like speech bubbles. Formatting options include changing text size, alignment, font type, and object border properties.

Finalizing Drawings

• Once satisfied with the drawing's appearance (including text), users click “Save and Close” to insert it into their document.

Working with Text Boxes and Images in Google Docs

Formatting Text Boxes

• The text box can be customized by changing its fill color, which affects the entire box.

• Borders of the text box can also be modified similarly to how text is adjusted in Google Docs.

• Typography adjustments such as font type and size are made through a specific menu, similar to editing text in Google Docs.

Inserting and Managing Images

• Users can insert images by selecting them from their desktop or cloud storage like Google Drive.

• Right-clicking on an image provides options for ordering it relative to other images (e.g., send to back, move forward).

Layering Images

• Multiple images can be inserted and resized; users can layer them by adjusting their order using right-click options.

• Sending an image backward places it behind others, while bringing it forward positions it above all other images.

Understanding Image Positioning

• The stacking order of images is crucial; for example, if Gmail is at the front level, moving another image will adjust its position accordingly.

• If a text box is sent to the back, it will sit below all images. This layering concept applies specifically within drawings rather than standard documents.

Finalizing Drawings and Adjustments

• Once formatting is complete, users save their work; drawings behave like images regarding adjustment options.

• Adjusting text wrapping around images allows for flexible positioning; fixed positions take precedence over movable ones.

Prioritizing Image Layers

• When multiple elements have fixed positions, the last one moved remains on top. This principle helps manage overlapping content effectively.
