Creating Shapes
Word has several methods for creating shapes (that is, for adding a shape to the Shapes collection), depending upon the type of shape desired. Among the possibilities are: AddCallout, AddCurve, AddLabel, AddLine, AddPicture, AddPolyLine (polygonal line), AddTextbox, AddShape, and AddTextEffect.

AutoShapes
An AutoShape is a Shape object that represents a built-in drawing. To add a new AutoShape object, use the AddShape method, whose syntax is:
ShapesCollection.AddShape(Type, Left, Top, Width, Height, Anchor)
The parameter Type is the type of AutoShape to create. It can be any one of the MsoAutoShapeType constants:
