My experience of people drawing objects directly in MsWord is historians 
creating stemmas of manuscripts. A manuscript stemma is a kind of tree where 
you classify the manuscripts of a text to show graphically the philological 
tradition.

People spend hours connecting the different words with pointed arrows to find 
that it doesn't print well or when you want to change something, everything 
is going amok and you need another couple of hours to fix it.

The right way would be to have a small python application where you enter the 
relations between the manuscripts and that create the schema in svg that 
could be embedded in your KWord file.

Cheers,
Charles
