Adding Pictures and WordArt to Highlight Information
Adding Drop Caps, Text Boxes, Shapes, Symbols, and Equations
If you've ever prepared a corporate annual report, you're familiar with why various graphical features go a long way in enhancing communication. Financial results that take pages to describe offer can be succinctly summarized in a half-page chart or spreadsheet-like table. In other cases, visual elements can be purely decorative, as is often the case with drop caps and symbols. Or elements such as WordArt and text boxes containing pull quotes can be used to set off or highlight information. Part IV explores graphical features beyond mere words, showing you how you can use tables, charts, SmartArt, pictures, WordArt, drop caps, text boxes, shapes, symbols, and equations to illustrate and illuminate the message in any document.
Chapter 13 explores the intricacies and nuances of tables, charts, and SmartArt, all of which can be used to summarize or illustrate data. Chapter 14 shows you how to add pictures and WordArt to show as well as tell your story. Chapter 15 shows you how to insert symbols and equations, as well as adding shapes, drop caps, and text boxes to set off or emphasize information.
