Microsoft Word - Formatting Pages Class Discussion How can you effectively use graphics in your more creative documents? Which text wrap settings are typically the most appropriate for images inserted into a document? How can picture styles enhance or detract from the quality of your documents? CLASS DISCUSSION Possible answers to the discussion questions include the following: Use of graphics: Don’t overuse images in your document; too many images can make your document cluttered and hard to read. Consider using one picture as the main focus. Use other, smaller images to support the main focus or to highlight details. Text Wrap Settings: Choose text wrap settings that go well with the images in your document; make sure that your document is readable and visually appealing. Unless the image is mostly transparent, do not use the Behind Text option. The most commonly used text wrap settings are Square and Tight. Picture Styles: Picture Styles provide extensive visual formatting options for images, including borders, shadows, and reflections. If too many Picture Styles are applied within the same document, the document will look unprofessional.
