WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:11.240 I really think the Teacher of the Year news item needs a picture of Mr. 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:12.240 Doe. 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.080 It is our top story. 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.210 To insert a picture into a document, place your insertion point where you want the image 00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:20.910 to appear and select the Insert tab. 00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:25.420 In the Illustrations group, click the Picture command. 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:29.130 The Insert Picture dialog box will appear. 00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:32.349 Locate your image file wherever you have it stored on your computer. 00:00:32.349 --> 00:00:35.940 I have a good one of him stored on my Desktop. 00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:41.520 You can use the drop-down menu or the menu options on the left of the dialog box to locate 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.530 your image. 00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:48.470 Select the Picture and click Insert and it will appear in your document. 00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:49.789 Whoa! 00:00:49.789 --> 00:00:52.650 My picture is way too big! 00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:54.230 But that's not a problem. 00:00:54.230 --> 00:01:00.609 I can resize it, just like I can clip art, shapes, and other illustrations. 00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:05.140 Just make sure the picture is selected and left-click one of the corner sizing handles. 00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:11.530 While holding down the left mouse button, move your mouse so that the image is smaller. 00:01:11.530 --> 00:01:16.220 The corner sizing handles are great because they allow you to resize the image, but still 00:01:16.220 --> 00:01:18.190 keep its same proportions. 00:01:18.190 --> 00:01:22.470 I've inserted my picture into the document, but it doesn't look very good here. 00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:26.130 I really want to have it near the text, rather than underneath it. 00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:30.030 To see all the picture formatting options, first select the picture. 00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:35.420 Look closely and you will notice the new Picture Tools Format menu that appeared on the Ribbon. 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:39.890 From here, I can format the picture in so many different ways. 00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:43.450 Let's start by wrapping the text around the image, so that the picture of Mr. 00:01:43.450 --> 00:01:47.080 Doe doesn't appear under the text. 00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:52.240 To do this, click the Text Wrapping command in the Arrange group. 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.750 Let's just left-click a menu option and move the image around to see how the text and image 00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:02.590 look. 00:02:02.590 --> 00:02:04.950 Let me try Tight. 00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:09.619 I want the text to appear near the image, but not over it, so this might be a good choice. 00:02:09.619 --> 00:02:14.950 I also want the text to appear on the left and the image on the right, so let me move 00:02:14.950 --> 00:02:17.090 this here. 00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:18.090 That's good. 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:20.030 I like the way this looks so far. 00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:24.790 If you can't get your text wrapping to work, click More Layout Options at the bottom. 00:02:24.790 --> 00:02:29.730 The Advanced Layout dialog box appears and from here you can make some additional changes 00:02:29.730 --> 00:02:31.980 about how to wrap the text. 00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:36.640 Before I continue formatting my image, I'm going to add a little space between my newsletter 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:40.730 title and this Teacher of the Year section. 00:02:40.730 --> 00:02:44.320 This just gives me a little extra space for formatting. 00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:48.500 Sometimes you may find that there is part of an image that you want to crop. 00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:53.520 For example, in this image, I'd really like to cut out a little of the chalkboard and 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.880 Mr. Doe's folded arms, and really have the image 00:02:56.880 --> 00:02:58.750 be primarily a headshot. 00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:04.292 Just select the image, the Format tab, and click the Crop command on the Format tab. 00:03:04.292 --> 00:03:07.150 The black cropping handles will appear. 00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:11.460 Just left-click and move a handle to crop the image. 00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:16.460 Corner handles will crop the image proportionally, but I really want to cut out some of the chalkboard, 00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:20.270 so I'll move this one in. 00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:22.850 And crop a little off the bottom, too. 00:03:22.850 --> 00:03:27.370 Now click the Crop command again to deselect this tool. 00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:31.250 After you've cropped, you can still resize the image. 00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:33.940 Let's make it a little bit bigger. 00:03:33.940 --> 00:03:37.180 There, that looks good. 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:40.290 Cropping and resizing an image doesn't change the image file size. 00:03:40.290 --> 00:03:45.290 Have you ever tried to email a picture to someone, only to find out the file size was 00:03:45.290 --> 00:03:46.900 too big to send? 00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:50.090 The same thing can happen with documents. 00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:54.610 You really need to watch the file size of your images, so that you can store and send 00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:56.470 your documents easily. 00:03:56.470 --> 00:04:01.000 You can decrease the file size of an image by compressing the image. 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.930 To compress an image, you'll first need to select it. 00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:10.120 On the Format tab, click the Compress Pictures command in the Adjust group. 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.770 A dialog box appears. 00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:17.810 Let's click the Options button to access the Compression Setting dialog box. 00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:23.160 Here we can see that by default, Word automatically compresses pictures when you save the file 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.060 and that parts of an image that are cropped are deleted. 00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:29.889 Let's leave those default settings as they are. 00:04:29.889 --> 00:04:33.310 Below you can select the Target output. 00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:37.520 Print is selected by default, but if you are delivering a document online, you may want 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:42.840 to switch the output to Screen.I'm happy with these default settings though, so let's just 00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:44.750 click OK. 00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:48.460 And then I'm going to click OK in the Compress Pictures dialog box. 00:04:48.460 --> 00:04:53.850 We've got some other important commands in the Adjust group here. 00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:58.000 If you're not happy with the picture, you can click the Change Picture command and select 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.160 a new picture from your computer or you can click Reset Picture to go back to the original 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.610 image you inserted. 00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:10.970 The Brightness and Color commands allow you to adjust the image in different ways. 00:05:10.970 --> 00:05:15.350 This is great, because for minor adjustments, you don't have to use a big photo editing 00:05:15.350 --> 00:05:17.960 package. 00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:22.690 You can also click the Recolor command to access some fun options. 00:05:22.690 --> 00:05:27.930 If you're printing in black and white, you may want to change your images to black and 00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:28.970 white. 00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:34.800 You can do so much with pictures in Word 2007 - way more than in previous versions. 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.210 One of the fun things you can do is reshape your picture. 00:05:38.210 --> 00:05:39.460 What do I mean by reshape? 00:05:39.460 --> 00:05:41.980 Here, I'll show you! 00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:46.820 Make sure your picture is selected and then click the Picture Shape icon on the Format 00:05:46.820 --> 00:05:47.820 tab. 00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:50.639 You can select many different types of shapes. 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.770 Some may not make sense, like this plus sign, others may just be funny like this sunshine, 00:05:57.770 --> 00:06:01.630 and then some may look really good and work with your document. 00:06:01.630 --> 00:06:06.000 When you find one you like, just left-click it to select it. 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.700 One of my favorite things about the new picture tools are the great picture styles. 00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:15.270 Just make sure your picture is selected and that you are on the Format tab. 00:06:15.270 --> 00:06:19.130 Click through the various styles and see how they affect your picture. 00:06:19.130 --> 00:06:20.590 Pretty cool, huh? 00:06:20.590 --> 00:06:25.960 If you want to see all your picture style options, click the More arrow in Picture Styles 00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:32.020 to see all the options. 00:06:32.020 --> 00:06:35.990 This one is good, I like this Beveled Rectangle. 00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:38.620 Just left-click it to select it. 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:43.020 You know, I'd like to see what my image looks like with a border. 00:06:43.020 --> 00:06:49.070 I can choose one of the bordered picture styles, or I can format my picture manually. 00:06:49.070 --> 00:06:57.229 To add a border manually, left-click the Picture Border command and select a color. 00:06:57.229 --> 00:07:01.230 That looks good, but I think the line should be heavier. 00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:06.440 Select the Picture Border command again, and select Weight from the menu. 00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:13.860 I like this 6 point weight, so I'll just select it. 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:17.250 I think Mr. Doe will be proud of what I've done to his 00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:18.250 portrait! 00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:21.210 As you can see, there are lots of things you can do with pictures. 00:07:21.210 --> 00:07:25.930 With the picture formatting options in Word 2007 there's no need for high-tech editing 00:07:25.930 --> 00:07:26.930 software! 00:07:26.930 --> 00:07:30.080 You can easily do quality picture editing in a flash! 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:35.310 Take awhile and explore all the picture options and see how you might be able to use them 00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:36.330 in your documents.
