Publisher provides you with a lot of flexibility as to the types of picture objects that you can add to your publication pages. You can add a picture file to a page, or you can choose to add a clip art image from the extensive clip art library that comes with Microsoft Office.
Pictures can come in a variety of file types, and pictures can consist of files you have on disk, items you copy from the World Wide Web, or pictures that you create using a scanner or a digital camera.
