Using Microsoft Word 97 - Working with Graphics

Inserting an image

Note: It is a good idea, where possible, to have your images saved in the Web Site folder before inserting them into your document.

Place the cursor where you want the image to appear in your document. Click the button on the Standard Toolbar. The Insert Picture box opens.

Ensure Float over Text is left unchecked. Locate and then select the image file and click Insert.

File Conversion

If you use an image format other than GIF or JPEG, Microsoft Word 97 will convert the image file to a GIF and rename it.

Aligning Images

Select the image by clicking on it. Choose to left, centre or right align the image by clicking on the Alignment button on the Formatting Toolbar.

Resizing the image

Once inserted, the image can be resized it by selecting it and then dragging the handles that appear at each corner until the image is at the desired size.

Note: In general, resizing in an Image Editor before you import it gives better results.

Alternative Text

From the File menu, select Format then Picture.

In the Text: field enter the alternative text for the image.

Click OK to finish.
