Inserting Images From ClipArt Gallery
Microsoft Office comes with its own clip gallery of images, sounds, and animations. It is very easy
to use. Images can often be downloaded quickly. The clip gallery has a searchable component where
you can type in keywords and view images that match. To use the clip gallery follow these steps:


Go to Insert on the menu bar and choose Picture then click on Clip Art.
The Insert ClipArt dialog box will open.
Click on the category that best matches what you are looking for and then click choose
and image. You can also type in a keyword in the searchable area at the top and hit the
enter key.
When you find the image that you want to use click on it and click on the top icon which
inserts the image onto your page. You can insert multiple images.
When you are done click on the x in the top right hand corner to close the Insert ClipArt
dialog box.
Your image will be inserted on your page.
Text Wrapping
Another neat feature of Word is the text wrapping, which can give to a document a professional
finished look. When you insert an image onto your page, by default the text wrapping is set for inline.
This is fine if you want your image in the exact location that it appears in and you don't want text
next to it. Most of the time this is not the case. You want to be able to move it to a particular location
and be able to type text next to it. In that case you need to change the text wrapping on the images.
To do that follow these steps:



Click on the image to select it.
Your picture toolbar should open. If it doesn't then go to View on the menu bar and down
to Toolbar and click on picture.
Click on the text wrapping icon. It looks like a Scottie Dog.
Choose the type of wrapping that is best for your document. If you want text to wrap
around your images then tight or square works well.
You can also right click on the image and choose Format Picture and click on the Layout
tab. You can then choose the type of text wrapping that you want.
Graphic with inline wrapping
Graphic with square wrapping
Moving Images
Once you insert your images into your document you can move them around easily as long as you
have worked with the text wrapping. To move your images on your page follow these directions:



Move your mouse over the center of your image and you will get a four-way arrow.
Click and hold the mouse button down while you drag your image to the desired location.
Release the mouse button and your picture will be in the new location.
Alignment
You can align your graphics quickly with the alignment buttons. To align your graphics follow these
steps:


Select the graphic you want to align.
Click on the alignment button from the formatting toolbar. You can choose left aligned,
center, right aligned or justified.
Printing & Print Previewing
Printing is very easy in Word. The first thing you would want to do after you have run a spelling and
grammar check it to use the print preview button. This will show you what your printed document
will look like. It will show you if you have anything hanging out of the margin range. To do a print
preview follow these steps:

If you want to make any adjustments click on the magnifier and you can then click within
the document to make changes.
Click on the close button when you are done previewing.
To Print follow these steps:
Go to File on the menu bar and then click on Print.
The Print dialog box will open.
Choose the printer you want to print to, the number of copies, the pages, etc and click on
OK.
If you just hit the print button from the standard toolbar you will bypass the print dialog box and your
document will be sent to the default printer.
