Graphics:
On the ribbon to the right of the draw text box tab is a little picture of two mountains and a sun, and this is the insert picture feature. Click on this tab to insert graphics. I have to assume this is not the first time you have done this sort of thing and that you already have some basic computer knowledge. The point I am demonstrating here is the rulers. By holding down the shift key + left click on the mouse, you can drag the rulers from top and bottom so that you can measure to the sixteenth of an inch the graphic in relation to the surrounding margins. It gets easier with a little practice. All the graphics should be the same measurement from the edges of the margins consistently throughout the book. A custom document does not automatically center
anything for you! There may be some minor variations here and there on the exact size of the graphic depending on your skill level in inserting the graphic and formatting it, but by and large the insert graphic and format feature will do most of the math for you. I don't think you'll be able to escape from math completely though! There is also a captions feature, and numerous other features you can use to enhance your graphics, some of which we'll discuss further on, including shapes and borders. But if you want to get a head start, look at the ribbon and experiment a bit.
