Understanding how to use graphics can make your documents more powerful.
You can practice these skills using the document you are formatting for task 03. Or, you may use this document, Two Years Before The Mast by Richard Henry Dana, as an example to practice the tools we discussed this week.
Let's add an image of the author to the title page. Use this image of Dana (as he is supposed to have looked during the time he was a sailor.) Copy the image and past it in right after the author's name on the title page.
Did it work out as you wanted it to?
Note that the image appeared where we told it to appear - as a text object immediately after the final letter in Dana and immediately before the end of paragraph markup. Let's correct that by placing the image on a new line by itself - enter a new paragraph break immediately prior to the image object. Look at the new page in the Print Preview View to see if this is how we want it to look.
That image was formatted as if it were a text object - its wrapping was in line with text.
Use your cntl+f tool to find the first instance of the word "Asitka". It should be in Chap. XXVI. Immediately before the word "Asitka" insert a five pointed star from the AutoShapes part of the drawing toolbar.
Right click on the star to format the object.

First, go to the start of the first paragraph in Chap. XXXIV. At that point, insert this map.
You now have two objects in the same location.
