my sign is looking pretty good but I
think it needs something more images are
a nice way to make flyers and signs more
appealing there are several different
types of images you can add to your
documents to take a look at these
options select the insert tab in the
illustrations group you can see that we
can add pictures clip art shapes smart
arts and charts to our documents
I think right now I'd like to add a clip
our image of a cancer awareness ribbon
now that we're on the insert tab just
click the clip art command the clip art
task pane opens in the right side of the
word window by default in the search for
field type the name of the image you
want to insert into your document I'm
going to type cancer ribbon you may also
want to specify where you want to search
for the image click the drop down arrow
in the search end field and you can see
that you can search for clipart located
on your computer or located on Microsoft
Office online you can also select the
media file type you can choose to insert
clip art photographs movies and sounds
if you only want photographs you could
uncheck all the other media types I want
to see what we can turn up so I want to
leave everything selected now to begin
the search click go or select the Enter
key on your keyboard
okay so cancer ribbon did not turn up
any results this doesn't mean that you
can't find the image you need you just
need to change the words you use for
your search I'm going to just use the
word cancer and see what happens
the image appears my task pane and look
a pink ribbon that's exactly what I was
