2. The Basics Images in Word 2010
The main differences between inserting pictures and Clip Art are as
follows:
Pictures are files you have saved (to a hard drive, a USB, or the cloud)
Clip Art images come courtesy of Microsoft Online though to confuse
the issue, Microsoft also provides Clip Art that are pictures
Pictures and Clip Art can be accessed via
the Insert tab on the Ribbon
Both pictures and Clip Art can be formatted in
a variety of ways: re-sizing, applying
Corrections, re-colouring, applying Artistic
Effects, and much more

cloud? Do you want to?

solution. Its from Microsoft.

3. The Basics Images in Word 2010
Here are a few terms and features you may encounter when working with
images in Word 2010:
Compressing images may become important to you if your files
become too large.
Use Reset when youve unintentionally distorted an image
There are also other visuals you can add, including two sets of tools you
might not normally consider as images
Think about Shapes, and think about Symbols
One last thought not all images need captions, but they can play another
role that might not seem obvious at first
