If you have Microsoft Word, (word processor), open it up, goto View > Toolbars and click "Drawing".
At the bottom of the Word window a drawing toolbar will appear. If you explore this you will see that you can draw freehand lines, add shapes and add "callout" boxes or "bubble" shapes where you can type in text.
If you don't have Microsoft Word but some other Word Processor I am sure that it will have a similar toolbar.
This may not be an ideal solution as it is difficult to place freehand shapes, or arrows or callout or bubble shapes within a page of text, and also difficult to format text around such items. But it is well worth experimenting with.

I am slowly becoming computer-user oriented (self-taught, trial and error). I have learned to do basic Microsoft Windows word processing functions to include the office clipboard, cut, copy, paste, etc.
I can type and edit text from Web pages, but I cannot figure out how to draw freehand on such Web page material -- hard to verbalize. Example: An acquaintance emailed me a map of his general area. On the map were circles, arrows, notes and sketches that he had made using some kind of freehand drawing marker. My computer has a "paint" program feature but only enables me to draw on images (pictures) and not on written material and text transferred from the Web.
I would be truly greatful for any help. I've about concluded that it can't be done on this particular computer.
