your publication. Depending on the type ofpublication you're creating, adding pictures caneven be essential.

from a template, you're likely to
want to replace some of the
template's pictures with your own.
The Change Picture command
lets you insert new pictures in
place of existing ones. When you
use this command, the new
picture will appear in the location
of the original one, with the
original picture's formatting
applied.

have to adjust it by
resizing, cropping, and
rearranging it.

your mouse until the picture is the desired size.

procedures for working with shapes and other
objects.
