Inserting a Picture in Your Workbook

Excel allows you to insert a wide range of picture (graphic) types in your documents. You can insert the following types:

This list looks very inclusive, but you may not be able to insert all of these on your particular version of Excel. The graphic files you can actually import depends on the version of Excel you have installed and which import filters you installed.

To insert a picture in your workbook, follow these steps:

1. Choose Picture from the Insert menu, and then choose the From File option. This displays a file selection dialog box.
2. In the Files of Type field, select the type of graphics file you want to insert.
3. Locate and choose a filename for the picture you want to insert.
4. Click on Insert.

Excel inserts the picture as if it is floating over your worksheet. You can then move the picture by simply using the mouse to drag the picture a new location.
