I've finished another Word 2007 Basic course. This is Level 4, and it covers graphics, illustrations, images, pictures, clip art, shapes, text boxes, SmartArt, charts, and WordArt.
Yes, it covers a ton of material about inserting pictures and other images into your documents. Microsoft has really made some excellent additions to Word with the new graphics effects, style galleries, and lots more.
