Adding Objects to Word Documents

An object is any element that is added to a Word document (we will also see how objects can be added to PowerPoint presentations). Objects can contain text, clip art pictures, charts, organization charts, or other types of graphics. Technically a text box is an object but it is treated separately by Word. Here we will show you how to add objects other than text boxes.

• choose InsertObject 
• the insert Object dialog box will appear
• using the Create New tab, select the type of object that you would like to insert from the scrolling list and then click
• a frame will appear in your document at the position of the insertion point appropriate for the type of object you wish to insert
• continue as needed to complete inserting the object
