WordTips: Working with Graphics

There is an old saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words." While that may be an exercise in hyperbole, pictures can certainly enhance certain types of writing and provide important visual cues for the reader.

Fortunately, Word allows you to easily add all sorts of graphical content to your documents. This has been the case since the earliest versions of Word. The problem is, there are (it seems) a zillion ways to add that graphic content. This can cause confusion and leave you wondering how to harness the graphical power of Word.

WordTips: Working with Graphics focuses on the graphical power of Word, providing you with a complete overview and "how to" when it comes to the graphical capabilities of Word. You discover how to add pictures, images, shapes, text boxes, WordArt, charts, and a wide variety of other graphical elements to your documents.

Word isn't a graphics program and should never be confused for one, but it does allow you to take advantage of objects you create in specialized graphics programs. You can insert all sorts of graphic objects in Word, and you can use Word's tools to create your own graphic objects.

Want to know how to add graphics created elsewhere? Got it covered. Want to know how to keep your graphic objects from jumping all over the place? Got it. Want to know how to work with shapes, WordArt, text boxes, the drawing canvas, and Microsoft Graph? We've got it. Want to know how to get graphics out of your document? It's in here. Need to know how to wrap text to get the best page layout when you decide to use graphics? Yep; got that, too. How about printing documents containing graphics? You guessed it; we cover it here.

The short of it is that whatever Word will do with graphics, it is covered in WordTips: Working with Graphics. To get an idea of the value packed into this comprehensive resource (it contains 259 pages!), be sure to check out the table of contents.

WordTips: Working with Graphics is provided in two formats—Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat—and you automatically get them both. Including both formats allows you to easily use the information in whatever format you desire. Both formats allow you to enjoy the following features:

• The ability to view, search, and print the book.
• Screen shots that illustrate what you see in Word as you follow the step-by-step instructions.
• The ability to select and copy sections of text, such as macro code.
• Hyperlinks to internal content (in the book itself) and referenced resources on the Web.

To use the Microsoft Word version of the e-book, you just need to have Word installed on your system. If you want to use the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version, you need to either have Acrobat or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Many computer systems already have the reader installed. If you do not, you can get it free, directly from Adobe.

There is no better source anywhere than the information packed into WordTips: Working with Graphics. (If you find such a source, I'd love to know about it; I don't think one exists.)
