Word processor Microsoft Office Word is used, perhaps more often than any other application. This is a very advanced program, with a huge number of functions for working not only with texts, but also with graphics and other media formats. Inserting a photograph into a document for this "universal soldier" of the office front is a trivial task.
Necessary
Word processor Microsoft Office Word 2007 or 2010
Instructions
Step 1
If the photo only exists in hard copy, digitize it - scan it. Word, oddly enough, does not have built-in functions for working with the scanner, so you will have to use the software that came with this device. Remember the location and name of the created scanned photo file.
Step 2
Open the document in which you want to insert the photo in a word processor, and place the cursor in the required line.
Step 3
Go to the "Insert" tab and click the "Picture" button in the "Illustrations" group of commands. Word will open a standard dialog very similar to the "Explorer" window - use it to find the photo saved to the file and click the "Insert" button.
Step 4
The operation of the previous step can be replaced by a simple drag-and-drop - launch the "Explorer", find the required file in its window and drag it into the open document window.
Step 5
Resize the image to fit the width of the page. Immediately after inserting the photo, Word will turn on the editing mode and add the "Drawing Tools" tab to the application menu. In the rightmost group of commands of this tab - "Format" - there are two fields with which you can change the width and height of the image - use them. There is also an alternative way - in the corners of the frame around the photo there are anchor points, dragging them with the mouse can also change the scale of the image.
Step 6
Set the position of the picture in relation to the text of the document. A photo can overlap text, split it into top and bottom fragments, be a background image, etc. Select the option you want by expanding the Position drop-down list in the Arrange command group on the same tab.
Step 7
Save the document with the photo inserted into it. You can do this by using the Save or Save As commands in the word processor menu. The image you inserted will be embedded in the text document file and has nothing to do with the photo file, so you can delete, rename, move, etc.
