Before you start you should open the drawing toolbar by clicking on:

>View >Toolbars >Drawing.

Method 1: using MS Word

1. On the drawing toolbar, click AutoShapes. Click Basic Shapes and choose a triangle
2. Drag (click, hold down the button and then move the mouse) the handles (the little squares at the corners) to make the triangle the shape you want. (If your Drawing toolbar is not visible, click on View in the top toolbar, then Toolbars, then tick the Drawing toolbar.)
3. Draw a text box near one of the vertices.
4. Format the text box to remove the line and fill colour ( Click on Format in the top toolbar, click on Format Textbox, then on Colours and Lines, and set the line colour to white). The text box will then become transparent.
5. Change the font to Arial or some other suitable san serif font.
6. Copy the textbox to the other vertices (Select the text box, then hold down the ctrl key and drag is probably easiest).
7. Type in the labels.
8. Shift select labels and triangle. (Hold down the Shift key, and then click on the triangle and then each text box in turn.) Group the textboxes and triangle so that it stays in one place. (Right click inside the triangle, and on the pop up menu, click on Grouping, click on Group.)
9. Format the new object and choose the wrapping that you want. (Select your new triangle – which is now called an object, and click on the Format menu at the top. Under Object, click on Layout – this will give you the various options of how the object is placed in relation to your text. Word defaults to in front of text).

Method 2: Cut and paste from Sketchpad

1. Draw the figure in Geometer’s Sketchpad.
2. Select the figure in Sketchpad
3. Copy and paste into Word.
