Changing the Size of a Picture

Your inserted picture doesn’t always look exactly right—the subject might be too far to one side, or the picture might be too big or too small in proportion to the page. You can easily fix both problems: You can crop the picture to keep only the content you want, and you can decrease or increase the size of the picture.

  1. Click to select the picture if it isn’t already selected and to activate the Picture Tools Format tab.

  3. Place the cropping mouse cursor over a Cropping handle, and drag the sides, top, or bottom of the picture to crop off the parts you don’t want.

  4. Click the Crop button again to turn off cropping.
