Let us make a rectangle using the Rectangle tool. To do this, perform the following steps:
                 Step 1:  Move to the location in the document where you wish to draw a rectangular.
                 Step 2:  Select the Rectangle tool from the Drawing toolbar.























                         The mouse pointer changes to a thin plus sign.

                 Step 3:  Drag and then release the mouse button to create a rectangular shape of an appropriate size.























                 The mouse pointer is still with a thin plus sign which means you can draw as many shapes as you want.
                 Step 4:  Click on the Select tool on the Drawing toolbar or press the Esc key to get your original mouse pointer shape.

                 Resizing a Drawing Object
                 Sometimes you may want to change the size of drawing to accommodate it at a particular place in the document. This
                 can be done either by changing its size only or by changing its shape and size both.

                 An object drawn using a Drawing toolbar can be resized using two different ways, which are:
                 •  Using Handles of the Object
                 •  Using Format Menu

                 Using Handles of the Object
                 This process is similar to the steps we used to resize an image, which are as follows:
                 Step 1:  Select the object to make it active with the handles (little square) around the edges.
                 Step 2:  Place the mouse pointer over one of the edges so that it changes to a double headed arrow.

                 Step 3:   Drag the double headed arrow in the direction of resizing the object. If you drag it inwards the size decreases.
                         If you drag it outwards the size of the image increases.
