Hello,

I want to do geometry exercises with my daughter.
Is there a way to create, for example, a rectangle with dimensions in centimeters on the computer and ensure that these measurements are preserved when printed?
More specifically, how can I create a rectangle that is 6 cm long and 3 cm wide so that these measurements are accurate when I print my file?

Thank you for your help.

    Hello SAUNOUVIET,

    If you already know how to insert a rectangle in your Word document,
    the explanation is simpler: right-click on the rectangle and
    choose the option “Format Shape…”.

    In the window that opens, select the “Size” tab.
    In the Height box, enter 3 cm or 3cm (with or without space)
    In the Width box, enter 6 cm or 6cm (same)

    Optional: you can play with the rotation box:
    45 will rotate the rectangle 45° to the right
    -45: the same to the left (but if you check again
    the box where you entered -45, you will see that it has been
    converted to positive degrees to the right: 360-45 = 315.

    Confirm: click the OK button or press < Enter >

    With the default printing (A4 sheet size, 100%), the sizes
    of the text, images, or shapes will be the same.

    If your issue is resolved, please mark the topic as “Resolved”.
    Otherwise, let me know your version of Word and what the issue is.

    Best regards. ????
