Pictures or images speak a thousand words. Aside from using pictures to improve the appearance of
our document , more importantly, we use or insert pictures to help our reader understand what information
we want to convey clearly and efficiently.

use the side sizing handles.

Changing text wrapping settings

When you insert a picture from a file, you may notice that it's difficult to move it exactly where you want. This
is because the text wrapping for the image is set to In Line with Text. You'll need to change the text wrapping
setting if you want to move the image freely, or if you just want the text to wrap around the image in a more
natural way.

To wrap text around an image:

1. Select the image you want to wrap text around. The Format tab will appear on the right side of the Ribbon

tions to fine tune the layout.

Alternatively, you can access text wrapping options by selecting the image and clicking the Layout Op-
tions button that appears.
If the alignment guides do not appear, select the Page Layout tab, then click the Align command. Select Use
Alignment Guides from the drop-down menu that appears.

Using a predefined text wrapping setting

Predefined text wrapping allows you to quickly move the image to a specific location on the page. The text will
automatically wrap around the object so it's still easy to read.

Inserting online pictures

If you don't have the picture you want on your computer,
you can find a picture online to add to your document.
Word offers two options for finding online pictures.
• OneDrive: You can insert an image stored on your
OneDrive.
You can also link other online accounts with your Mi-
crosoft account, such as Facebook and Flickr.

• Bing Image Search: You can use this option to search the Internet
for images. By default, Bing only shows images that are licensed un-
der Creative Commons, which means you can use them for your
own projects. However, you should click the link to the image's web-
site to see if there are any restrictions on how it can be used.

To insert an online picture:

1. Place the insertion point where you want the image to appear.
2. Select the Insert tab, then click the Online Pic-
tures command.
3. The Insert Pictures dialog box will appear.
4. Choose Bing Image Search or your OneDrive.
In our example, we'll use Bing Image Search.

5. Press the Enter key. Your search results will appear in

the box
6. Select the desired image, then click Insert.

Note. When adding images, videos, or

music to your own projects, it's important

use them. Most things you buy or down-
load online are protected by copyright, 7. The image will appear in the document.
which means you may not be allowed to
use them.

Formatting Pictures

There are many ways to format pictures in Word. For instance, you can change the size or shape of an image
to better suit your document. You can also enhance its appearance using Word's image adjustment tools.

To crop an image:
When you crop an image, part of the picture is removed. Cropping can be useful if you're working with an
image that's too big and you want to focus on only part of it.

1. Select the image you want to crop.

The Format tab will appear
2. From the Format tab, click the Crop command.

6
3. Cropping handles will appear on the sides and corners of the image. Click and drag any handle to crop the image. Be-
cause the cropping handles are near the resizing handles, be careful not to drag a resizing handle by mistake.

4. To confirm, click the Crop command again. The image will be cropped.

The corner handles are useful for simultaneously

cropping the image horizontally and vertically.

To crop an image to a shape:

1. Select the image you want to crop, then click the Format tab.
2. Click the Crop drop-down arrow. Hover over Crop to Shape, then select the desired shape from the drop-
down menu.
3. The image will be cropped to the chosen shape.

To add a border to a picture:

1. Select the picture you want to add a border to, then click
the Format tab.
2. Click the Picture Border command. A drop-down menu will ap-
pear.
3. From here, you can select a color, weight (thickness), and
whether the line is dashed.
4. The border will appear around the image.

Making image adjustments
With Word's image adjustment tools, you can easily fine tune properties like color, contrast, saturation, and tone. Word
also offers built-in picture styles, which can be used to add a frame, drop shadow, and other predefined effects.
When you're ready to adjust an image, simply select it. Then use the options below, which can be found on
the Format tab.

ments).

Compressing pictures

If you plan to email a document that contains pictures, you'll need to monitor its file size. Large, high-
resolution images can cause your document to become very large, which may make it difficult to attach to an
email. Additionally, cropped areas of pictures are saved within the document by default, which can add to the
file size.
Thankfully, you can reduce your document's file size by compressing your pictures. This will lower
their resolution and delete cropped areas.
Compressing a picture may noticeably affect its quality (for instance, the image may become blurry or pixelat-
ed). Therefore, we recommend saving an extra copy of your document before you compress pictures. Alterna-
tively, be prepared to use the Undo command if you're dissatisfied with the results.

To compress a picture:
1. Select the picture you want to compress, 3. A dialog box will appear. Check the box next
then navigate to the Format tab. to Delete cropped areas of pictures. You can
2. Click the Compress Pictures command. also choose whether to apply the settings
to this picture only or to all pictures in the
document.
4. Choose a Target output. If you are emailing
your document, you may want to select Email,
which produces the smallest file size.
5. Click OK.
