EXCELInserting PicturesYou can add pictures to your spreadsheets to add interest. Excel provides a reasonable selection of clip art or you can insert a picture from one of your own image files. To add a picture, click on an empty cell and then click on the Insert drop-down menu and choose Picture. If you want to use Excel’s clip art you can then choose Clip Art or choose From File if you want to pick your own picture. There are also other facilities like WordArt and Autoshapes to add graphics to your worksheet.
