Inserting Clip Art

Word comes bundled with hundreds of Clip Art images that are copyright free and available for your personal use. The clip art images that are available through Word cover many different categories and can really help enhance your pages. If you have never inserted clip art before, Word will ask if you would like to catalog all of the available resources (clip art, sound and video files) on your computer. It is a good idea to go ahead and catalog all of these free resources.
