in this lesson we're going to learn how
to insert and delete images into our
publications we're here with our
cityville elementary school newsletter
again let's scroll down and take a look
at a couple of our articles the article
on the bottom of our front page is about
our reading program I think I'd like to
insert a clip art object into this title
place your cursor in front of the title
and let's go ahead and insert a clip art
object in order to do that let's go up
to our main menu and select insert come
down and click on picture and come over
and let's click on clipart we're now in
our clipart window which is in our task
pane let's decide that we're going to
put a book in our title let's search for
book by typing that into our search for
box let's come down and search in all of
the collections we're not only going to
search in our clip art collection we're
going to search in Microsoft offices
collection and all of the web
collections and our results should be in
clip art form so let's go ahead and
deselect photographs movies and sounds
make sure clipart is all that is
selected now let's click on go now this
might take a moment since it's searching
all of the collections I like this red
book at the bottom of the window let's
go ahead and click on that now our red
book has been inserted let's go ahead
and move it to the beginning of our
title and resize it
I think that makes a nice addition to
our reading program article now let's go
up and look at our top article about PTA
fundraisers our latest PTA fundraiser
was a bank sale and I see the picture
here it is a hand with some money and I
don't really like that picture to go
with this article I think I'd rather
insert an actual picture from the event
so let's delete the current photo in
order to delete our picture let's make
sure it's selected then we can either
press the Delete key on the keyboard or
we can right click on our picture and
select delete object now we want to
insert our own picture from the actual
event let's click on a spot in our
article and go up to the main menu we
need to select insert come down and
select picture as you can see we can
insert a picture from a file we can
insert auto shapes word art we can even
bring in pictures from a scanner or
camera we can also put a placeholder in
as an empty picture frame in this case
we're going to go ahead and load our
photo in from a file so now we're going
to select from file now our insert
picture dialog box appears and I see a
picture of a bank sale photo let's go
ahead and click on that we've got our
picture of cookies we want to insert
that into our article wow those look
good we need to resize this obviously
let's make it a little smaller and move
it around till it's at a really nice
location in our article
that looks really good you'll notice
that we have our picture toolbar up when
our picture is selected this is always
available our toolbar will allow us to
insert a picture I prefer doing it from
the main menu our toolbar also will let
us change the coloring of our picture
currently our picture is on in automatic
color we can choose to make it in
grayscale black-and-white or even wash
out let's go ahead and set that back to
automatic color we can also change the
contrast of our picture we can increase
it we can decrease it we can also change
the brightness make it brighter or make
it less bright we can also crop our
picture we can do that by selecting the
crop icon from the picture toolbar now
you can see that we have crop borders at
each corner of our photo as well as
along each edge we're going to now move
our cursor to the bottom crop border
we're going to click our mouse button
down and we're going to drag the bottom
of our photo up to the desired location
as you can see we've cropped off the
bottom of our picture we now need to go
back to our toolbar and deselect the
crop icon we can also add a line or a
border around our picture we do this by
selecting the line border style icon
from the picture toolbar and for our
picture let's go ahead and select a two
and a quarter point line to go around
the outside and we have a little frame
for our picture these are a few of the
things that you can do with the picture
toolbar feel free to explore some of the
other options and we will also cover a
few of these options and
future lessons I think these images
really add some extra impact to our
newsletter you can continue to get
creative with images of your own and
your own documents
