Import and Design Your Own ClipArt and Bullets
Use your own photos, designs or artwork to add to the Clipart in your office programs. After you create
these you can then add them to your bullet design list. When you add to your clipart designs, they may
need to be resized in your document. When you add that same clipart design to your bullets list, they
will automatically be reduced to a small bullet size design.
