Adding clip art or pictures can be the perfect way to spice up any document. In Microsoft Word, you can paste multiple graphics to your document and even overlap them if you wish. Perhaps you would like to place a frame around a picture, or make a collage of multiple pictures. Using the text wrapping feature, you can paste pictures on top of one another and adjust them to your liking.
