Integrating Images and External Materials

Integrating images and other materials can enhance Word documents. There are several types of materials that can be integrated, including pictures, clip art, shapes, smart art, charts, and screenshots. Pictures can be in JPG, GIF, or PNG formats, which each have advantages and disadvantages for quality, colors, transparency, and file size. Clip art, shapes, and smart art can be used to represent ideas graphically. Charts are useful for presenting data, and screenshots provide realistic images for procedures. Integrating these materials makes documents more informative and visually appealing.
