Objective
Including pictures in a document.
Many word-processed documents contain pictures and graphics. These can enhance your document and make it much more readable. Picture files come in many formats and from a variety of sources. They could come from the Internet, from a scanned image, from a CD ROM etc. The most common format for scanned images and images from a CD-ROM are Bitmap files (ending .bmp) and Tiff files (ending .tif). Images from the Internet are either CompuServe Gif files (ending .gif) or Jpeg files (ending .jpg). . To add a picture select Insert + Picture + From File.
Microsoft applications such as Word 97 have a library of images and graphics that you can include in your documents; this is called Clipart. To access Clipart select Insert + Picture + Clip Art. You can then look through the preview images, click on the one you want and click Insert. You can resize the picture by dragging the corners.
