00:00:08.260 --> 00:00:12.170
Word gives you several different ways to add
pictures to your documents.

00:00:12.170 --> 00:00:16.520
You can use your own, or you can search for
something in the online picture library, which

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:19.690
includes stock photos, clip art, and other
graphic resources.

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:24.271
In this example, I want to start by adding
the company logo to the top margin [dotted

00:00:24.271 --> 00:00:25.770
line callout box] of the document.

00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:30.220
The file is already saved to my computer,
so inserting it should be pretty easy.

00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:35.890
Just go to the Insert tab… then click the
Pictures command.

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.690
From here, select the image you want.

00:00:37.690 --> 00:00:42.229
(You may need to navigate to where it's saved
on your computer.)

00:00:42.229 --> 00:00:47.010
Then click the Insert button… and it will
be added to your document.

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:51.220
Remember, I wanted the image positioned in
the very top margin.

00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:55.440
But watch what happens when I try to move
it there using the drag & drop method.

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:59.910
It doesn't work, because the current text
wrapping setting won't allow it.

00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:03.549
Text wrapping controls the position of the
image, and the way the rest of your document

00:01:03.549 --> 00:01:04.970
wraps around it.

00:01:04.970 --> 00:01:08.780
To move the image freely, we'll need to change
the text wrapping setting to something other

00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:10.160
than the default.

00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:15.100
First, make sure the image is selected, then
look to the Format tab.

00:01:15.100 --> 00:01:23.390
From here, you can use Position to choose
one of the pre-defined layouts… or you can

00:01:23.390 --> 00:01:26.440
try the Wrap Text command if you want a little
more control.

00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:33.320
(For a convenient shortcut, you can even access
some of these options from the button here.)

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:37.361
These four are a good choice if the picture
is in the main part of your document; for

00:01:37.361 --> 00:01:39.450
example, next to an article.

00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:42.090
We'll take another look at them at the end
of this video.

00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:47.820
This time, I'm going to choose In Front of
Text, so I can move the image wherever I want.

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:52.840
Just drag & drop the image wherever you want
it to go.

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.750
You can even use the arrow keys on your keyboard
to gently nudge it into place.

00:01:56.750 --> 00:01:58.070
And… there!

00:01:58.070 --> 00:01:59.470
I think that looks good.

00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:03.750
Now, if you find yourself in a situation where
you'd like to add a picture, but you don't

00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.650
have anything suitable of your own, that's
ok.

00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:10.630
Word gives you access to thousands of images
from other sources online.

00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:16.880
All you have to do is go to the Insert tab…
and click the Online Pictures command.

00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:20.889
From here, you can use Bing to search the
web for stock photos, clip art, and other

00:02:20.889 --> 00:02:22.060
graphics.

00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:26.680
You can even access pictures from your OneDrive
account if you have any stored there.

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.069
I'm going to try a web search first.

00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:33.579
Just type your search term in the box, then
press Enter on your keyboard.

00:02:33.579 --> 00:02:39.650
By default, Bing only shows images that are
licensed under Creative Commons, which means

00:02:39.650 --> 00:02:42.569
it's ok to use them in your own projects.

00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:46.260
Just to be safe, though, you should check
the image's website to make sure there aren't

00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:47.779
any restrictions.

00:02:47.779 --> 00:02:50.239
Just follow the link you see here.

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:54.230
This image looks good—it should be perfect
for the newsletter I'm working on.

00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:59.709
To insert it, I'm going to click the thumbnail…
then the Insert button… and it will be added

00:02:59.709 --> 00:03:01.530
to the document.

00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:05.560
To change the size of an image, all you have
to do is click and drag the sizing handles

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:06.560
here.

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:11.639
(The ones in the corners will make sure the
image stays in proportion.)

00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.760
Now we can adjust our text wrapping settings.

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:18.590
Again, make sure the image is selected, then
click the Wrap Text command on the Format

00:03:18.590 --> 00:03:20.239
tab.

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:24.370
This time, I want something that'll place
the image not behind or in front of the text,

00:03:24.370 --> 00:03:26.590
but positioned alongside it.

00:03:26.590 --> 00:03:30.120
As you can see from the preview, Square would
be a good choice.

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.350
So would the Tight option, which causes the
text to sort of "hug" the image (if the image

00:03:34.350 --> 00:03:36.530
has a transparent background).

00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:40.459
I think I'm going to go with Tight… and
then move the picture to the right side of

00:03:40.459 --> 00:03:45.409
the article.

00:03:45.409 --> 00:03:49.099
Whether you have your own pictures, or you've
found something in the online collection,

00:03:49.099 --> 00:03:51.959
the right imagery can really make your document
pop.

00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:56.359
Now you know a few different ways to add and
position images, so you get the right combination

00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:57.590
of pictures and text.
