Word – way to create a custom shape library in Word

microsoft wordmicrosoft-word-2010shapes

I have a number of custom symbols I use regularly in Word. Right now, I have them saved as individual shapes in a Word document. I keep this open and cut-and-paste shapes as needed.

However, I'd love to somehow add these shapes to a library that would automatically display in Word when I use the "insert shape" dialog.

Is this possible? Or have I been spoiled by the swatch and brush libraries in Illustrator? 🙂

Best Answer

I suggest making your own custom template with all the shapes you often use. That way, you will always have access to them.

You'll have to copy/paste them as you go along. However, this saves some time compared to doing it externally..
