You have the means to save any graphic you find on the Web.  Saving them, and most especially re-distributing them in any form, however, may be in violation of copyright laws, which you must be sure to respect.   

There are, however, thousands of freely usable images on the net at such sites as this Indiana University site:

To save this picture, use your right mouse button to click on it (on a Macintosh, just click on it a long time).  A menu appears.  Choose Save image as from the menu.  A SaveAs dialog box appears.  (For instructions on how to use this box in Windows 95, click here). 

Nearly all graphics  you encounter on the Web are in gif or jpg compression mode.  In fact, these are the only graphical formats your browser can display by itself.  Most modern word processors can also utilize graphic files in these format; you should be able to incorporate pictures from the Web in your printed documents.
