Handy Hints
N EED A PICTURE ?
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.
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.
