Objective 1. Insert and Modify Clip Art and Pictures

Graphic images can be inserted into a document from many sources. A clip is a media file, including art, sound, animation, or movies. Recall that clip art images are predefined graphic images that can be inserted from files provided with Microsoft Office or downloaded from the Microsoft Office Web site. Pictures can be scanned from photographs or slides, taken with a digital camera, or downloaded from the Web.

Activity 3.1. Inserting Clip Art

4.	Position the insertion point in the fourth (blank) line. From the Insert menu, click File. Navigate to the location where the student files for this textbook are stored and insert w03A_Job_Opportunities. Press as necessary to delete the extra blank line at the bottom of the document, and then, press to move to the top of the document. Compare your screen with Figure 3.2.   Figure 3.2.
5.	Display the Save As dialog box. Navigate to the location where you are storing your projects, and then create a new folder named Word Chapter 3 and click OK. Save the file as 3A_Job_Opportunities_Firstname_Lastname

If the appropriate image is not displayed on your task pane, display the Insert menu, point to Picture, click From File, navigate to the student files that accompany this textbook, click w03A_Roller_Coaster, and then click the Insert button. Alternatively, use a similar image from the task pane. Your college lab may have a limited number of clip art images installed.

If you are not connected to the Web, your screen may not display the images shown in Figure 3.3.
9.	Click the roller coaster image, Save your document, and then compare your screen with Figure 3.4.   Figure 3.4. The clip art image is placed at the insertion point location. When images are placed in documents, they are inline images; that is, they are positioned directly in the text at the insertion point, just like characters in a sentence.

Activity 3.2. Inserting Pictures from Files

Pictures can be added to a document, either by browsing for a picture on a disk drive or by using the Clip Art task pane.

1.	Scroll to view the paragraph beginning There are many advantages, and then click to place the insertion point to the left of the first word in the paragraph.

3.	On the Clip Art task pane title bar, click the Close button . Display the Footer area. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click the Insert AutoText button , and then click Filename.
4.	Close the Header and Footer toolbar and Save your document.

Activity 3.3. Wrapping Text Around Graphic Objects

Pictures and clip art images inserted as inline images are treated like characters in a sentence. Thus, the result can cause awkward spacing in a document. To avoid this, you can format any graphic to move independently of the surrounding text by changing inline images to floating imagesimages that can be moved independently of the surrounding text. This is accomplished by changing the wrapping options.

1.	Locate and click the first imagethe roller coasterthat you inserted, and then compare your screen with Figure 3.7.   Figure 3.7. Sizing handles, small black boxes, display around the image border. These handles are used to increase or decrease the size of the image. The sizing handles also indicate that the image is selected. The Picture toolbar may display, either floating over the document or added to the other toolbars.
2.	From the Format menu, click Picture. Alternatively, right-click the image and click Format Picture from the shortcut menu. In the Format Picture dialog box, click the Layout tab to display the wrapping and alignment options, as shown in Figure 3.8.     Figure 3.8.
3.	Under Wrapping style, click Tight, and then click OK. Compare your screen with Figure 3.9.   Figure 3.9.
4.	Scroll down and click the Ferris wheel picture, be sure your pointer is over the picture, and then right-click. From the shortcut menu, click Format Picture, click the Layout tab, and under Wrapping style, click Tight. Click OK. The text wraps around the second image. Because the spaces to the left and right of the pictures are used to display text, the document now occupies one page instead of two.
5.	Save the changes you have made to your document.

Activity 3.4. Resizing and Moving a Graphic Object

Usually you will want to adjust the size of the clip art and pictures that you place in documents. Use the sizing handles to resize images.

Be sure your ruler is displayed; if necessary, from the View menu, click Ruler. Locate and click to select the first image you insertedthe roller coaster. Drag the image to the right side of the page so that its right edge aligns at approximately 6.5 inches on the horizontal ruler.

Sizing handles, a rotate handle, and an anchor all display on or near the image.
 

2.

Scroll to the left as necessary to see the anchor. Then, take a moment to study the table in Figure 3.10 that describes the purpose of each of these formatting marks. Refer to Figure 3.11 for placement of the image.
