With your dissertation document open, let's
begin by inserting an image.
Select where you would like to insert your
image
and then, at the top of the screen, click
on the Insert ribbon.
Locate the Illustrations group
and you can see that we have several options
of illustrations that you may add to your
document.
Click on the picture button and a search box
will appear.
Navigate to your image.
Select it and then click the Insert button.
You will see that your image has been inserted
into your document.
If you look at the top of the screen, you
will notice that the Format ribbon is now
selected.
The Format ribbon gives you options to change
the size and position of the image,
as well as make other image adjustments.
Next, we will insert a chart.
Let's scroll down,
select a location for a chart
and click on the Insert ribbon.
We will click on the insert chart button and
see the chart dialog box appear.
As you can see on the left hand side, there
are several chart options.
Select a chart that you would like to place
into your document and click OK.
Our chart has been placed into the document
and a spreadsheet window has appeared.
This spreadsheet will allow us to input or
modify the data in our chart.
Take note that the chart will automatically
update as we change our data.
Once you have finished modifying your data,
you may close the spreadsheet window.
Since we just placed a chart, our Design ribbon
is now selected.
The Design ribbon is where you may alter the
appearance of your chart or edit your data.
Now, let's add a caption to our chart.
Right click on the chart and select Insert
Caption and a dialog box will appear.
Use the drop down menu beside the word, Label,
to change the type of label for your caption.
Enter a name for your caption using the text
box above.
Finally, use the drop down beside the word,
Position, to change the positioning of your
label.
Click OK and a caption will be added to your
media object.
