Adding Graphics

A graphic is a drawing or illustration that can be added to your workbooks. You can add drawing objects such as AutoShapes from the Drawing toolbar. You can also insert ClipArt and other graphic files into your workbook. These images are embedded objects, meaning they become part of the new document.

To add a graphic to a workbook:

1. Place your cursor where you want the graphic to appear.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Picture and select an option.
   1. ClipArt…—opens the ClipArt task pane, allowing you to search hundreds of clips to use in your workbook.
   2. From File…—allows you to insert a picture created in another program.
   3. From Scanner or Camera…—allows you to insert a picture directly from a scanner or digital camera.
   4. AutoShapes—inserts predefined banners, arrows, and callouts as drawing objects.
   5. WordArt…—inserts text effects as drawing objects.
   6. Organization Chart—inserts a flowchart which you can add text to and modify.

The Clip Art task pane allows you to search for different kinds of clips from many different sources. There are several ways to narrow your search.

• Click the Search in: arrow to limit the search to your files, office files, or Web files.
• Click the Results should be: arrow to specify the exact type of media clip to search for.
• Click the Organize clips... link at the bottom of the task pane to browse through specific collections and organize the clips you use most frequently.
