Inserting Images
A document with pictures looks much better and is easier to understand. You can add images to your Word document from your computer or from the built-in picture library.
Why Add Images to a Document?
Images explain ideas that are hard to describe with words alone. A picture of an animal in a science report, or a drawing in an art project, makes the document more interesting and complete.
