Microsoft Word's graphic organizer includes a collection of pictures from Office Collections, My Collections and Web Collections. You can use the search tool to find images quickly and efficiently in the graphic organizer and add them directly into your document. Word lets you create and manage your own collection of images as well, so you can access graphics you use frequently. You'll find the graphic, or clip, organizer in Word's Clip Art task pane.
