Drawing equilateral triangles?

[Mark and Theresa]

This should be easy, but I can't work it out!!!

How can I draw an equilateral triangle using Word's drawing tools? All I can
find is right-angled triangle and isosceles triangle. There are only two
ways I can see of get an equilateral triangle - isosceles and calculate the
height, or rotating a line by 60 degrees each time and grouping them
together.

Please say there is an easier way of drawing regular polygons - and more
importantly let me know what it is!

Hi

Make sure the drawing toolbar is visible (View -> Toolbars -> Drawing).

Click on the AutoShapes button. Click on the basic shape that looks like a
triangle. The trick is to *hold the shift key down* while you drag in the
document to make the triangle. Holding the shift key down while making an
autoshape makes it a "regular" shape.

Thank you, despite me now feeling such an idiot :-)
