00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:15.220
Word gives you several different ways to add
pictures to your documents. You can use your

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.420
own, or you can search for something in the
online picture library, which includes stock

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:22.170
photos, clip art, and other graphic resources.

00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:26.820
In this example, I want to start by adding
the company logo to the top margin of the

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:31.330
document. The file is already saved to my
computer, so inserting it should be pretty

00:00:31.330 --> 00:00:33.160
easy.

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:37.250
Just go to the Insert tab... then click the
Pictures command.

00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:42.019
From here, select the image you want. (You
may need to navigate to where it's saved on

00:00:42.019 --> 00:00:48.730
your computer.) Then click the Insert button...
and it will be added to your document.

00:00:48.730 --> 00:00:54.190
Remember, I wanted the image positioned in
the very top margin. But watch what happens

00:00:54.190 --> 00:00:58.710
when I try to move it there using the drag
& drop method. It doesn't work, because the

00:00:58.710 --> 00:01:02.300
current text wrapping setting won't allow
it.

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:05.899
Text wrapping controls the position of the
image, and the way the rest of your document

00:01:05.899 --> 00:01:10.610
wraps around it. To move the image freely,
we'll need to change the text wrapping setting

00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:13.550
to something other than the default.

00:01:13.550 --> 00:01:19.170
First, make sure the image is selected, then
look to the Format tab. From here, you can

00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:25.860
use Position to choose one of the pre-defined
layouts... or you can try the Wrap Text command

00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:30.990
if you want a little more control. (For a
convenient shortcut, you can even access some

00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:36.720
of these options from the Layout button here.)

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:40.210
These four options are a good choice if the
picture is in the main part of your document;

00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:46.200
for example, next to an article. We'll take
another look at them at the end of this video.

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:52.450
This time, I'm going to choose In Front of
Text, so I can move the image wherever I want.

00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:56.939
Just drag & drop the image wherever you want
it to go. You can even use the arrow keys

00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:59.710
on your keyboard to gently nudge it into place.

00:01:59.710 --> 00:02:03.659
And... there! I think we've got it.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:08.700
Now, if you find yourself in a situation where
you'd like to add a picture, but you don't

00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:13.280
have anything suitable of your own, that's
ok. Word gives you access to thousands of

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.430
images from other sources online.

00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:21.590
All you have to do is go to the Insert tab...
and click the Online Pictures command.

00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:28.230
From here, you can search for stock photos,
clip art, and other graphics at Office.com,

00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:32.930
or you can use Bing to search the web. You
can even access pictures from your SkyDrive

00:02:32.930 --> 00:02:36.200
account if you have any stored there.

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.209
I'm going to try a web search first. Just
type your search term in the box, then press

00:02:41.209 --> 00:02:43.180
Enter on your keyboard.

00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:49.290
By default, Bing only shows images that are
licensed under Creative Commons, which means

00:02:49.290 --> 00:02:53.730
it's ok to use them in your own projects.
Just to be safe, though, you should check

00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:58.040
the image's website to make sure there aren't
any restrictions. Just follow the link you

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:02.120
see here.

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.739
Let's try the same search, but this time,
in the Office.com collection.

00:03:08.739 --> 00:03:13.030
Unlike the web search option, you're free
to use any of these images any way you want,

00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:17.610
without having to check the license. They're
provided by Microsoft, so you always have

00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:22.280
access to high-quality images, no matter what
kind of image you need.

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.910
This one looks good—it should be perfect
for the article I'm working on. To insert

00:03:26.910 --> 00:03:32.910
it, I'm going to click the thumbnail... then
the Insert button... and it will be added

00:03:32.910 --> 00:03:35.409
to the document.

00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:39.510
To change the size of an image, all you have
to do is click and drag the sizing handles

00:03:39.510 --> 00:03:47.000
here. (The ones in the corners will make sure
the image stays in proportion.)

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.450
Now we can adjust our text wrapping settings.

00:03:49.450 --> 00:03:54.379
Again, make sure the image is selected, then
click the Wrap Text command on the Format

00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:59.930
tab. This time, I want something that'll place
the image not behind or in front of the text,

00:03:59.930 --> 00:04:03.160
but positioned alongside it.

00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:07.970
As you can see from the preview, Square would
be a good choice. So would the Tight option,

00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:13.310
which causes the text to sort of "hug" the
image (if the image has a transparent background).

00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:18.090
I think I'm going to go with Tight... and
then move the picture to the right side of

00:04:18.090 --> 00:04:23.060
the article.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:27.010
Whether you have your own pictures, or you've
found something in the online collection,

00:04:27.010 --> 00:04:31.520
the right imagery can really make your document
pop. Now you know a few different ways to

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:35.800
add and position images, so you get the right
combination of pictures and text.
