Use the Drawing toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) to add the shapes and drawings that you want.

From the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Drawing.
If you are in Outlook, make sure you have a new message open.
Move the Drawing toolbar to where you want it.
- If the Drawing toolbar is docked (docked toolbar: A toolbar that is attached to one edge of the program window. When you drag a toolbar below the program title bar or to the left, right, or bottom edge of the program window, the toolbar snaps into place on the edge of the program window.), drag the move handle .
- If the Drawing toolbar is floating (floating toolbar: A toolbar that is not attached to the edge of the program window. You can change the shape of some floating toolbars.) (as pictured), drag the title bar.

Note When you drag a floating toolbar to the edge of the program window, it changes to a docked toolbar. Moving a docked toolbar may affect the location and size of other toolbars in the same row.
