Chapter 6: Working with Graphics


Overview

In this chapter you will learn to:

  • Create a diagram.

  • Insert and modify a picture.

  • Align a picture with the surrounding text.

  • Create WordArt.

  • Draw and modify a shape.

You can insert graphics in Microsoft Office Word 2003 to make your documents more visually appealing and to convey information that is difficult to get across in words. A graphic is any picture or drawing object. A picture is an image created outside of Word—a scanned photograph, clip art, or a file created on a computer with a graphics program. A drawing object is an image created within Word—an AutoShape, a diagram, a line, or a WordArt object.

You can use the Drawing toolbar to insert pictures and draw different kinds of objects. After you add a graphic to a document, you can enhance it with colors and special effects. You can also change its position by using layout options and changing how the graphic and other elements on the page relate to each other.

In this chapter, you’ll create a diagram, insert pictures, change a picture to appear faintly in the background, change how text and graphics are laid out, insert a WordArt object, and draw and modify shapes.
