How to Import Pictures Using Microsoft XP

Microsoft XP allows you to insert pictures into your Office documents such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Adding pictures can add appeal and clarity to your documents. Documents that contain pictures can keep the interest of the reader versus a document without pictures. You can insert pictures from a location on your PC or you can copy pictures from one document to another.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Open the Microsoft document that you wish to insert the picture inside of. Place your cursor in the area of your document that you wish to insert the picture.
