importing clipart from "my doc. to publisher"
I have recently downloaded some clipart. photos and the like to my windows 98 "my document folder", when I am doing some work in lets say Microsoft Publisher how to I access these files or am I doing all this wrong. I know that these files take up alot of space and I should be obtaining these images on cd's but I'm just doing a few to see how this works before I buy any clipart software, as you can probably can tell I am a newbie! Thanks for your help... :)

I'm sorry but I have Microsoft Publisher 2.0 and I do not see on the menu at the top anything that says insert, maybe it is called something else in this version. At the top of my page I have these headings, " FILE, EDIT, PAGE, LAYOUT, FORMAT, TABLE, TOOLS, and HELP" I assume you want me to go into the one called FILE but it does not have a lable in it called INSERT. Sorry to be such a goof...!
just copy from a word document and paste it in the publisher document.... It's the fastest and easiest way to do it...

You insert a frame to hold the image into your document and then load the file into the frame. As a general rule you should crop or modifiy the image *PRIOR* to loading it into Publisher using Photo Shop or other similar tool. You can save a *LOT* of space by down converting the image from, say, 24-bit color to 8-bit color and by reducing the image size/resolution as much as possible. If you crop a large image in publisher so you can only see a small portion the "invisible" parts are still carried along with the document and your load/save/print times will be excessive.
