Lionsure 2021-04-13 Original by the website

In Word, from the initial solid filling gradually developed to gradient, picture or texture, pattern filling, filling styles are becoming more and more abundant. The new version of Word has these filling styles. Graphic shapes can be filled with solid colors, gradients, pictures or textures, patterns, and text can only be filled with solid colors and gradients.

If you have used image processing software, and you must be particularly familiar with the fills with solid, gradients, pictures or textures and pattern, because they are the first to have these features, and these features are gradually introduced with the development of application software. Their settings are relatively simple, because Word provides many ready-made styles, usually you can choose one.
