Working With Pictures/Clip Art in Word

If you insert a picture or clip art into a Word document, it is sometimes difficult to put it where you want it to go and be able to make it stay there. The purpose of this short lesson is to teach you how to do that.

To insert a picture choose Insert, Picture and then either Clip Art or From File as shown in the picture below.

Word 1

 

Once you have the picture pasted into your document, right click on it and choose "Format Picture". Then click on the "Layout" tab. You will see a window like this come up.

Layout

On this screen, you will want to click on the button that says, "Tight". Then click OK.

This will format the picture in such a way that you can move it around on the screen and put it where you want it.

Hopefully this will be a help.
