Have you ever wanted to use Clip Art in your document, but didn’t because it had the wrong colors, or an element you didn’t like? It’s actually possible to edit graphics found in the Clip Art Gallery. Note that this only works on drawings, not photographs, and not on all of them. Here’s how you do it:

Ungroup the Graphic

There is no clip art library in Pages, but you can easily add images you have elsewhere on your hard drive. Go to Insert Choose. (at the bottom of the menu) & navigate to the location of the images. If you use Microsoft Word on your Mac, you can save the documents you create and open them in Pages, Apple’s word processor. It’s a handy feature to use in case you can’t access Microsoft.

On the right side of the PICTURE TOOLS > FORMAT Tab, click on the GROUP button, and then select UNGROUP. An alert box may appear that says, “This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?” Click YES.

Occasionally, you need to Ungroup twice.

The image changes into a Drawing Canvas, with all the elements of the Clip Art broken up into tiny pieces. To see this in action, click once inside the frame, then press CTRL-A on the keyboard to SELECT ALL. You now see all the resizing handles for all of the graphic elements. Click outside the box—don’t change anything yet!

Change Colors

Find an element to recolor. Click on it (it may take several tries to find the right one if there are a lot of overlapping elements), and use the DRAWING TOOLS > SHAPE FILL to change the color.

Delete and Add Elements

How

To finish, click anywhere inside the Drawing Canvas and SELECT ALL or CTRL-A again. On the DRAWING TOOLS ribbon, click on GROUP, and then on the GROUP option.
