Business Computing Tips

We have been covering INSERT commands the last couple of weeks. You
can read these at http://www.users.bigpond.com/sagatech/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

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.
