In a similar way you can insert pictures from your hard disk: go to Insert › Picture › From File and choose the picture you want. You can also directly scan a picture, though I would suggest you do this via the freeware programme “xnview” we talked about in section 28, which allows you much more freedom to manipulate your picture, for instance increase contrast or get rid of parts you don’t want.
You can also insert a picture directly from the internet by right clicking it and choosing Copy. Back in your text simply insert it using shortcut Ctrl + v.
Again, don’t forget to give all your pictures a Caption, so you can easily refer to them from within your text (Cross-reference) and have them added to your table of illustrations.
