Activity 1:
What is it?
What is Microsoft Word?
Microsoft Word (MS Word) is an example
of a word processor where there are
features that you can use to enhance your
work. One of these features is
integrating images and external materials
into your document to make it more
impressive and more informative.
KINDS OF MATERIALS
The different materials that you can integrate or insert
in your document are seen in the Insert tab,
Illustrations group shown in Figure 1.
KINDS OF MATERIALS
1. Shapes
2. Pictures and Online Pictures
3. Smart Art
4. Chart
5. Screenshots
SHAPES
The different shapes that
you can insert in your
document are lines,
rectangles, basic shapes,
block arrows, equation
shapes, flowchart, stars
and banners, and callouts
2. PICTURES AND ONLINE PICTURES
Both “Pictures” and “Online Pictures” accomplish the
same goal. The only difference is that “Pictures”
means you can insert pictures locally, the pictures
you saved in your local storage device, while “Online
Pictures” allows you to insert images from an
internet-based source such as clip art from
Office.com, Bing,
THREE DIFFERENT PICTURES FILES
a. .JPG / .JPEG
JPEG which stands for Joint Photographic Experts
Group uses a lossy compression method commonly
for digital images. This type of image file can support
16.7 million colors that is why it is suitable for use
when working with full color photographic images
(Caligagan 2017). This file type does not support
transparency.
THREE DIFFERENT PICTURES FILES
b. .PNG
PNG which stands for Portable Network Graphics
uses a non-lossy compression method also for digital
images. It is the same with .jpg format in giving a
good quality of image and making the transporting of
files to internet faster. Unlike .jpg format, .png format
allows transparency which makes blending of images
to other objects in your document is better.
THREE DIFFERENT PICTURES FILES
c. .GIF
GIF which stands for Graphics Interchange Format
can display transparency too like PNG but can only
support 256 colors that is good mostly on low-
resolution images like logos, drawings or small texts.
It also supports simple animation effects which makes
it not fitted to printed documents other than email or
website.
3. SMART ART
Smart Art is a predefined sets of different
shapes grouped together to form a structure.
There are a lot of Smart Art graphics you can
choose, from list, process, cycle, hierarchy,
relationship, and matrix.
4. CHART
Chart is used to illustrate and compare data.
You can choose from the available
types - bar, line, pie, area, column, or surface.
5. SCREENSHOT
Microsoft Word provides a snipping tool for
your screen shots so you can select and
display only the part that you exactly like to
capture on your screen.
IMAGE
PLACEMENT
Image Placement
1. In Line with Text – This is the default
setting for images that are inserted or
integrated in your document.
Image Placement
2. Square – this setting allows the image you
inserted to be placed anywhere within the
paragraph with the text going around the image in a
square pattern like a frame.
Image Placement
3. Tight – This is almost the same as the square
setting, but here the text “hugs” or conforms to the
general shape of the image.
Image Placement
4. Through – This setting allows the text on your
document to flow even tighter, taking the contours
and shape of the image.
Image Placement
5. Top and Bottom – This setting pushes the texts
away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of the
image so that the image occupies a whole text line
on its own.
Image Placement
7. In Front of the Text – This setting allows your
image to be placed right on the top of the text as if
your image was dropped right on it.
