Thanks
  May I suggest using Microsoft Paint. If you have Microsoft, you have Paint,
the draw program. You can draw the geometric figures and labels on Paint to copy
and paste into Microsoft Word. After it is pasted in Word, You may double click
on it to make needed corrections. I am the author of "Hands on Computer
Activities for Teaching Math" Excerpts may be found at Amazon.com.
