london word training - Margins and also inserting photos into text | Word forum

Hi Alexia

Thank you for your questions.

To change margins, go to File - Page Setup - Margins - you will be able to set the size for the left and right margins here.

With photos, if you can it is best to save them and then insert them. Right-click on the image you wish to save, then choose Save Picture as from the shortcut menu.

Then you can save a copy of the images onto your computer.

In Word go to Insert - Picture - From File, navigate to where you saved the images, select one, and then click Insert.

To manipulate the image, you can right-click on the picture once it is in the Word document and choose Format Picture. You will have options for getting text to wrap around the picture (if you wish to) and also to resize the image.

If you turn on your Picture toolbar (it may come up automatically on your screen if you select the picture in Word - otherwise View - Toolbars - Picture will bring it up), there is a Crop tool which you can use to cut bits off the picture and make it smaller.

To equally space pictures, select them all (click on one, hold down Shift and keep holding down the Shift key while you click on the other images to select them. Then go to the Drawing toolbar (normally at the bottom of your screen) go to Draw - Align and Distribute - then you can choose to Distribute horizontally or Distribute vertically.

I hope this helps.
