I am a student learning Word 2013.  In the textbook chapter 5 talks about using the DRAWING TOOLS FORMAT tab which I cannot find.  Can someone help me with this?  Also, there is supposed to be a More button to the right side of the Style options our help.in the Shape Styles group and I am unable to find this either.  Any ideas?

Thank you for your help

    Following up on Stefan's repsonse, this means that first, from the Insert tab you need to insert a line or shape.

    Once you've inserted something, select it and the contextual tab DRAWING TOOLS - FORMAT will appear.

    Drawing Tools Format is an example of a contextual ribbon tab, meaning that it won't be active unless you have selected a drawn object.
