Insert Image

You can enhance your documents by incorporating graphic objects. These graphics are divided into two categories – those that are created in Word, and those that are created in another application. Types of graphic objects that you may insert in your document include:

To insert clip art:

1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the image in the document.
2. Select the Insert Tab.
   
3. Go to the Illustrations Group.
   
4. Select Clip Art.
   
5. The Insert Clip Art Task Pane appears on the right.
   
6. In the Task Pane search text field, enter a description for the type of graphic you are looking for. (For example, typing “Rooster” will display all graphics with a rooster.)
7. Click Go. The Task Pane now changes to display the clip art results of your search.
8. To insert clip art, move your cursor over the image you want, and click the arrow that appears. This will reveal a menu of options.
9. Choose Insert from the menu, and the graphic will be inserted into your document.  You may also click on the image to insert it.
   
10. If you are finished inserting clip art, click the X to close the Task Pane.
