Inserting graphics
You can insert clipart images into a WordPerfect document, such as those included with WordPerfect. Clipart images are images that can be brought into a WordPerfect document and edited or used as is. You can also insert pictures from the WordPerfect Office CD.
You can link to an image on disk. When you link to an image on disk, the location of the image, not the image itself is inserted into the document. This way, you can considerably reduce the size of the file, especially if the image is used in several places throughout the document.
Inserting Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects into a document lets Windows applications exchange information with each other. You can link or embed a picture that was created in another program in a WordPerfect document. If you link the picture, the same information exists in two files: the application where the picture was created (the source application) and the application where it was copied (the destination application). When you change the information in the source application, the information is updated in the destination application as well. When you embed a picture, the picture becomes part of the document. You can edit the picture directly, without affecting the source file. For more information about Object Linking and Embedding, see “Linking and embedding objects.”
