Question

How do I add an image of artwork to Microsoft Word?

Community Answer

If you mean your own artwork, then you'd take a picture of it, upload it to your computer (make sure you know where you're saving it), then select Insert > Picture in Word, browse in the location where you saved the photo, click the picture, and insert. If you mean an image from the internet or something, you can just save it to your computer and basically follow the rest of the steps above.

Question

I have multiple text boxes on my document and when trying to insert an image from clip art, it goes behind, not on top of the document. How can I insert on the document itself?

Community Answer

When you insert the clip art, a little box will appear next to the image. Click the box and check to see if the picture if set to appear on top or underneath the text. Choose the option that best suits your needs.

Question

Can I add text as well as clip art into a work document?

Community Answer

Absolutely! You can always copy and paste by using CTRL + C and CTRL + V, or just type using your keyboard. You can have both images and text, but if you're having issues with formatting them, right click on the image for more options.

Question

How do I move clip art without moving the text in my document?

Community Answer

Double click on the image in order to open up the image menu on the top. Click on the "Position" drop down menu and click any of the options. That will allow your image to move with much more flexibility without messing with your text as much.

Question

Why is my clip art blurry when I enlarge it?

Community Answer

Your clipart is either low resolution, and you are making it bigger than the picture was designed for, or you're looking at it while resizing it, and it hasn't actually loaded the full resolution image.

Question

Do I need an internet connection to add clip art to MS Word?

Community Answer

Only if you're trying to add online content. If you have files, then you can just browse to them. There is a clipart folder in C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\*Office Version*\Clipart, or if you have a disk, you can copy the clipart to your local drive.
