You can format these pictures in many ways. For example, you can resize them, change the brightness of the picture, and create special effects using wrapping and layering options. This lesson focuses on inserting and formatting clip art in your documents. Starting Word 1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, and select Microsoft Word. Open an Existing Document 2.
