We have been covering INSERT commands the last couple of weeks. You can read these at http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/kfainges/insert.html.
INSERT => PICTURE allows you to insert a picture from a range of
sources. For example, you can add clip art, pics already on your hard drive or
floppy, auto shapes (make your own simple pictures from various shapes) word
art, a camera, scanner or a chart.
Clip art lets you access a range of pics already provided for you by
Microsoft. You simply type in the box what you are looking for, hit enter on
your keyboard, and then click on the picture you want. Depending on the
version of Word you have, you may need to click on insert clip pic, (the top
picture.) You can also use any of the thousands of pieces of clip art online
by clicking on the Clips online pic and downloading them.
Using pictures you already have is just as easy. Word will normally take
you straight to My Pictures, the place where a lot of programs place pics.
Simply double click on the one you want.
(To read a past K-tips about downloading pics from the web visit http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/kfainges/pictures.html
)
Clicking on a picture and dragging the edges in and out
can resize it. When the cursor changes to a double headed arrow, you can use
it to change the size. Right clicking on the picture gives your other
formatting options.
For the other options, they vary widely depending on your system, but you
can not cause any damage by experimenting on using each of these. So give it a
try.
