Summary Graphics such as clip art, shapes, and photos add emphasis

to text. The clip gallery is a collection of clip art images stored on

your computer. When a piece of paper is vertical and is taller than it is wide,

the orientation is called portrait. When the piece of paper is turned to its side and horizontal,

the orientation is called landscape. You can search for clip art, photographs, movies, and sounds

from the clip art task pane. The default text wrapping is “in line with text” and does not

allow you to move the image freely.

Spotlight on Word ProcessingChapter 5 22

Summary (continued) In order to maintain the proportions of an image, you should drag

from a corner handle when resizing. Additional images can be found on the Microsoft Online Clip

Organizer. Text wrapping determines how the text wraps around an image. The fill color of any shape can be changed. Hold the Shift key when drawing a rectangle or oval to create a

perfect square or circle. A callout is a box or bubble used in cartoons to indicate a

character’s speech or thoughts. WordArt is text that can be bent into special shapes and designs. Moving the yellow diamonds on the sides of the WordArt changes

the curve or slant degree.
