About pictures
Pictures, graphics, and art are some generic terms used to describe the
elements in your documents that aren’t text (such as charts, illustrations,
decorative elements, and photographs).
To put a picture in a document you want to print, you first need to get it into an
electronic form (a computer file). Then it’s simple to copy it into a document—the
user’s guide for the software program you’re using tells you how. Here are some
possibilities for getting your pictures into electronic form.
■
Draw the pictures yourself, using the drawing tools in a software program.
■
Use ready-made clip art—you can get it from a variety of sources, including the
Internet and your software programs. See “Need a picture?” for more ideas.
■
Scan the pictures yourself. Use your own scanner or gather your
pictures and rent a scanner at a local copy shop.
