Icons indicate special properties of the images. For example, a yellow star icon in
the lower-right corner of a thumbnail indicates an animated image, and a globe
icon in the lower-left corner of a thumbnail indicates an image that is available
from the Microsoft Office Online Web site rather than from the clip art collection
stored locally on your computer.- In the Clip Art task pane, point to the first image.
A vertical button appears on the right side of the image, and a ScreenTip displays
information about the image.G31OP24
Pointing to an image displays the beginning of the list of keywords
associated with the image, its dimensions and file size, and its format.Tip The file size of a publication that contains graphics can become quite large. You
can shrink the size of a graphic file (without affecting the displayed graphic) by using
the Compress Pictures feature. Depending on the resolution setting, you might lose
some visual quality when you compress a picture. You choose the resolution you want
for the pictures based on where or how the presentation will be viewed—for example,
on the Web or printed. You can also set other options, such as deleting cropped areas of
a picture, to achieve the best balance between quality and file size. This is especially
important when you intend to distribute a publication electronically, because the file
size affects how long it takes to transmit or download.- Click the button that appears on the right side of the active image.
A menu of actions you can take with the image appears.
