Working with Graphics.


Publisher 2010 provides access to hundreds of professionally designed pieces of clip art—
license-free graphics that often take the form of cartoons, sketches, or symbolic images,
but can also include photographs, audio and video clips, and more sophisticated artwork.
In a publication, you can use clip art to illustrate a point you are making or as eye-pleasing
accompaniments to text. For example, you might insert an icon of an envelope to draw
attention to an e-mail address, or a picture of mountains to set a “back to nature” tone.
To search for a clip art image, you display the Clip Art task pane and enter a keyword. You
can search a specific clip art collection in the Microsoft Clip Organizer; search for specific
media types, such as photographs; and search for images on the Microsoft Office Online
Web site.
Tip To open the Microsoft Clip Organizer, click Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office, Microsoft
Office 2010 Tools, and then Microsoft Clip Organizer; or enter clip in the Start menu Search box
and then, in the results list, click Microsoft Clip Organizer.
You can add illustrations created and saved in other programs or scanned photographs
and illustrations to your publications. Images such as these, saved as graphic files, are
referred to as pictures. Like clip art, pictures can be used to make your publications more
attractive and visually interesting. However, pictures can also convey information in a
way that words cannot. For example, you might display photographs of your company’s
products in a catalog or brochure.
