Then it's simple to copy it into a document-the guide for the application you're using tells you how. Here are some possibilities for getting your pictures into an electronic form: • Draw the pictures, using the drawing tools in a software application. • Use ready-made clip art. You can purchase libraries of clip art from a variety of sources or browse the Internet for what's available there. Look through computer magazines for the names of companies that sell clip art. They'll be happy to send you full-color pictures of their extensive offerings. Or browse in the art sections of bookstores for books of copyright-free pictures. Remember that it is against the law to copy any photograph unless you have been given specific permission to do so by the person or company who owns the original. • Scan the pictures yourself. Use your own scanner and its instructions. Save the files onto a hard disk, floppy disk or CD. Open your software program and follow its instructions to import the file into your document. 39
