Working with Graphic Objects

Excel comes with several tools that enable you to add graphic objects to your workbooks and charts. You can add a graphic object created in another program, you can add clip art (which is pre-drawn art that comes with Excel and other programs), or you can draw your own graphic objects using the Drawing toolbar.

Graphic Object

A graphic object is anything in your worksheet that isn't data. Graphic objects include things you can draw (such as ovals and rectangles), text boxes, charts, and clip art.
