Just like in any business you are constantly designing marketing ideas that have a lot of pictures. When you try to upload a photo to a word document you are limited to where the picture will play out. You have to down size the photo, make sure you are either to the left of the page, center or right side of the page. When you insert a canvas you can place the photo anywhere you like within the canvas. You may want the picture to be in the middle of a group of works or the upper right corner. This allows you to do that. Businesses can include bitmapped images like a screenshot, create various drawing that can be moved individually, and insert charts. In addition to these uses, the main use of creating a canvas in Word documents is for annotating a picture with a callout. Formatting is a big deal when you are working with any document. You want to make sure your point is being presented in the correct tone. Walking someone thru all the different formats will take a while. It can get frustrating so I would first teach someone about the basics. The basics come down to the font sizes, colors; fill in colors and font sizes. This will help them under how to bold words, or underline words. From this they would be able to understand how to get your message across in the correct manner. After that I would work on how to insert canvas’s and work with them. Once they understood where to find those items I would discuss how important it is to first plan ahead by selecting the type of text that they are going to use, along with the front size, and color before typing. Making sure that the Auto complete is on to help correct misspelled words will help cut down on the time of creating a document.
