Let’s See What It Looks Like!First we are going to open a new document in Word.

Let’s go to Word now and do that…

Adding A Shape And Formatting ItClick on the Insert tab at the top of the Word document.

For this example, let’s choose a rounded rectangle from the Shapes drop down menu

Using the crosshairs, begin in the upper left-hand corner and click and drag a box to the desired shape. In this case, it should go nearly all the way across the top of the page.
