    If you mean your own artwork, then you'd take a picture of it, upload it to your computer (make sure you know where you're saving it), then select Insert > Picture in Word, browse in the location where you saved the photo, click the picture, and insert. If you mean an image from the internet or something, you can just save it to your computer and basically follow the rest of the steps above.

    Why is my clip art blurry when I enlarge it?

    Your clipart is either low resolution, and you are making it bigger than the picture was designed for, or you're looking at it while resizing it, and it hasn't actually loaded the full resolution image.

    Only if you're trying to add online content. If you have files, then you can just browse to them. There is a clipart folder in C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\*Office Version*\Clipart, or if you have a disk, you can copy the clipart to your local drive.
