You can insert graphics and pictures that you have on hand into your document. For example, you can insert an image made in another program, or a photo off a digital camera.
When you crop a picture, you trim its horizontal and vertical sides. Cropping is useful when you only want to include a portion of a picture, or when you need to adjust its proportions.
Select the picture.
Click the Format tab in the Picture Tools ribbon group.
Click the Crop button.
Crop handles appear on the sides and corners of the image.
Click and drag the crop handles where you want to crop.
To crop all four sides of a picture or graphic at once while maintaining the graphic’s proportions, press and hold down Ctrl as you drag the handles.
Click the Crop button again when you’re finished setting the crop area.
Picture styles let you add borders and effects, such as shadows, reflections, and 3D rotation, to images. You can select a Quick Style or customize your own style.
Click the Quick Styles button on the Format tab.
The Quick Styles gallery expands. Each thumbnail gives a rough preview of how the style will affect the image.
Select a style.
The style is applied, updating the picture’s border and effects.
You can apply a variety of artistic effects to the images in your Word document. Using these effects is an easy way to make your document stand out.
With the picture selected, click the Artistic Effects list arrow on the Format tab in the Picture Tools ribbon group.
Thumbnails for the available artistic effects appear, with emulated pencil sketch styles, paint styles, and texture effects.
Select an effect from the list.
The artistic effect is applied.
You can use the Corrections menu the same way to adjust and enhance your picture brightness, contrast, sharpness, or softness. You can also use the Color menu to adjust saturation and tone, or to add a color filter.
