    This is truly inspired work.
    I honestly admire all the work you put into your map and into the tutorial.
    I mean... this is Word we are talking about here.
    I also love the hand-drawn piece you imported.

    But one question springs to mind:
    If your enthusiasm is able to bend a mere word processor to your will, I wonder what you'll be able to do with a graphics program, once you get the hang of it? The mind boggles.

    If you don't mind, I'd like to recommend two pieces of software to you, just to give them a try.
    They are both completely free.

    The first is Inkscape available at www.inkscape.org
    The second is GIMP available at www.gimp.org

    They both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
    In a nutshell, the first one is better for clean drawings and the second one is better for fancy stuff.
    But they both have a lot more options and possibilities than Word.

    Just give them a try, and see which one is for you.
    They might take some time to get used to, but it will be worth it.
    Also, there are lots of tutorials for those programs available. Both on this very site and in other corners of the net.

    Sorry for my long post, but I'd really love to see more of your work and it never hurts to have some good tools at your disposal.
