Hi,
I have absolutely no experience with 'Draw' and have no artistic ability whatso ever!
What I need is someone to give (simple) steps to create (say) various triangles :
(Obtuse, Acute and right angled), and other shapes, with appropiate annotation.
I really have read the Help file..... but cant 'geddit' even though I was an IT professional!
Oh, I'm 79 now, so a bit slow on the uptake..
Thanks
Pete Hepple
