INTEGRATING IMAGES AND EXTERNAL MATERIALS

Integrating and inserting pictures in your document is fun and it improves the impression of your document.

KINDS OF MATERIALS
There are various materials Microsoft Word is capable of integrating to make your documents richer, more impressive,
and more informative.

1. PICTURES
Generally, these are electronic or digital pictures or photographs you have saved in any local storage device. There are
three commonly used types of picture files. You can identify them by the extension on their file names.
a. .JPG – this is pronounced as “jay-peg”, and is a short form for .jpeg or Joint Photographic Experts Group.
b. .GIF – stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This type of image file is capable of displaying simple animation.
c. .PNG – this is pronounced as “ping”. It stands for Portable Network Graphics.

2. CLIP ART
This is a line art drawings or images used as
generic representation for ideas and objects
that you might want to integrate in your
document.

3. SHAPES
These are printable objects or materials that you can
integrate in your document to enhance its appearance or
to allow you to have some tools to use for composing and
representing ideas or messages.

4. SMART ART
These are predefined sets of different shapes grouped
together to form ideas that are organizational or structural
in nature.
5. CHART
It allows you to represent data characteristics and Chart Title
trends. 6

6. SCREENSHOT
A more realistic image of what you are discussing on your report or manual.

IMAGE PLACEMENT
We will study the different characteristics of text wrapping options that you can use with the image you integrated in
your document.

1. IN LINE WITH TEXT.

It treats your image like a text font with the bottom side totally aligned with the text line. This setting is
usually used when you need to place your image at the beginning of a paragraph.

2. SQUARE
This setting allows the image you inserted to be placed anywhere within the paragraph with the
text going around the image in a square pattern like a frame.

3. TIGHT
This is almost the same as the Square setting, but here the text “hugs” or conforms to the general shape
of the image. This allows you to get a more creative effect on your document.

4. THROUGH
This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter, taking the contours and
shape of the image.

5. TOP AND BOTTOM


This setting pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of the image so that the image occupies a

whole text line on its own.

6. BEHIND TEXT
This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all the texts floating in front of it.
It effectively makes your image look like a background.

7. IN FRONT OF TEXT
This allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was dropped right on it.

This allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was dropped right on it.
