How to Import JPEG Documents to Word

JPEG files are images created by software programs or optical devices like cameras or scanners. JPEG images from cameras are typically printed as photos. Others are used as clip art for word processing programs. Using JPEG images in documents enhances their appearance, illustrates the points made in the document, displays pictures in flyers or anything created by a word processor.
Microsoft Word, the word processor that comes with Microsoft Office, allows users to easily insert images into documents, flyers, invitations or other creations.

Instructions

1. Locate the Microsoft Word program icon on your desktop or within the Start Menu at the bottom of the screen. Move your mouse over it and double-click to open it.

2. Go to "File" in the Word program, highlight "New." Navigate to the pane on the right and click on "New Document."

3. Select "Insert" on the toolbar. Highlight "Picture." A box opens to the right. Choose "From File."

4. Find the drive or folder where the JPEG is located, using the drop-down menu entitled "Look In." You will see either icons or a list of your JPEG files, depending on how you set your system up.

5. Highlight the file you want to insert. At the bottom right of this window, select a button labeled "Insert."
