Steps for Drawing Diagrams in Word using Java

1. Set the environment to use Aspose.Words for Java to insert shapes
2. Create an empty Word file using the Document class for adding drawings in a DOCX file
3. Insert an inline shape using the insertShape() method with the required parameters
4. Insert a floating shape on the text using another overloaded method with respective arguments
5. Set the rotation of each shape if required
6. Define the OoxmlSaveOptions object and set the save format and compliance
7. Save the output file

These steps describe how to add diagrams in Word using Java. Instantiate an object of the Document class to load or create a Word file, link the file with the DocumentBuilder object, and insert an inline shape providing shape type and size. Insert another floating shape by setting the shape type, position, size, wrap type, and relative position attributes.
