ClipArt can dress up any document. ClipArt should be inserted after you have your document typed. This will give you a feel for how much, and the size for your clipart.

Working With ClipArt
- The layout should be according to the needs of the document
- When using "behind text," pictures should be placed in their final location first before clicking on behind text. Once you click on behind text, you will not be able to click on the picture without removing the text in front of it first.
- The Picture tab is the default tab when opening the Format Picture dialog box.
- Crop pictures here by typing different values into each box
- Use the Image Control to change the color of the picture. Automatic is the default and can be changed to: Grayscale, Black and White and Washout.
- Washout can be adjusted by clicking on the "Brightness and Contrast" control and increasing or decreasing
With these few controls, you can achieve many different effects. Practice adding different effects to the same clipart, try bolder colors, different lines.
Have fun!
