Since Mediawiki now supports svg files, please use tools (like Inkscape) which can create svg output for vector graphics. For help on the process, see Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Inkscape

This tutorial aims to instruct a beginner on the basic principles of vector graphics using Microsoft Word (Office 97 or later). The basic principles are the same in other drawing programs such as CorelDraw or the free and open source OpenOffice.org. Similar guides are available for OpenOffice.org Writer or OpenOffice.org Draw.
