Inserting Clip Art or Picture
◦ Place cursor on blank line below paragraph
◦ Click on Insert / Online Pictures and you will see Office.com Clip Art
◦ Type in whatever you want to search for. To match mine, type in computer stick figures. Since the clip
art is online, it is constantly changing, so you may not find the one I used. Just choose one you like if you
don’t fine the one I chose.
◦ Center the picture on the line and then resize it by clicking on one of the corners and dragging. You
want the flyer to all fit on one page. You can easily make that happen by resizing the picture.
◦ Recolor it to one of the theme colors by clicking on it and then clicking on Format under Picture Tools.
Choose Colors. I chose the 3rd one on the last row.
◦ Apply a Picture Style to the Picture. I chose Bevel Rectangle.
◦ Apply a glow effect. That is from Picture Effects. I chose one of the oranges.
