Clip Art in Word Using Text Boxes
A text box is a moveable, sizable container for
text or graphics. In Word, you can use a text box when you
want more precise control over the position of clip art in a
document.
1.
On the
Drawing toolbar, click Text Box.
2.
Click
the border of the box that contains the words "Create your
drawing here," then click the text box that appears, and
drag it to where you want to position the graphic.
3.
To add
clip art to the text box, place your cursor within it, click
Insert on the menu bar, point to Picture, and
click Clip Art.
4.
In the
Insert Clip Art task pane, use the search interface
to select your clip art.
You
can use the options on the Drawing toolbar to enhance
a text box—for example, to change the fill color—just as you
can with any other drawing object. When using a text box to
display a graphic, be sure to change the line color on the
text box to No line.
