Display the Drawing toolbar (there's a button for it on the standard
toolbar, or click View > Toolbars > Drawing). Click the AutoShapes
button on the Drawing toolbar and choose Basic Shapes from the menu.

The heart is in the lower left part of the display. Click it, then
click where you want the top left corner of the graphic and hold the
left mouse button down while you drag to the lower right corner.

If you really want to jazz it up... with the heart selected... go to the
Fill Color button on the drawing toolbar next... Select FILL EFFECTS...
PRESET... then scroll down to Rainbow. On the bottom half of the window...
select the various options (from left, from center, diagonal up or down.
You can really have fun.

or jump back to the tab that says....PATTERN.... and there are lots of
different patterns you can choose... and you can choose the 2 colors you use
(choose your school colors... your favorite colors... whatever!)

The drawing toolbar is awesome... you can do some really fun things with
the tools on it!
