Pictures in text documents written in Word format may be needed, for example, to illustrate text or to improve the appearance with graphic elements. In addition, pictures are used to insert the logos of organizations into official documents, and sometimes it is required to add scanned parts of paper documents, certificates, certificates, etc. to the text. Microsoft Word provides the ability to place an image in a text document in several ways.
Instructions
Step 1
Start a word processor and load the document into which you want to insert an image. Find the place in the text where you want to place the image and place the insertion cursor in it.
Step 2
Go to the "Insert" tab and click on the "Picture" button located in the "Illustrations" group of commands. A dialog box will open in which you need to find the image file on your computer or on any computer on the local network, and then click the "Insert" button. The window closes, the image appears in the text, and Word turns on the picture editor so you can resize it to fit the text document. You can turn on this editor at any time by clicking the inserted picture with the mouse cursor.
Step 3
You can dispense with the Picture button because the word processor supports drag and drop operations. You can simply drag the desired image file from the desktop or from the Explorer window into an open text document.
Step 4
If the desired picture is not stored in a file, but, for example, is found on a page of a website on the network, then there is no need to download and save it in order to find and insert it later. It is enough to drag the image with the mouse from the browser window into the open document.
Step 5
In some cases, images in web pages cannot be dragged and dropped due to the peculiarities of the way they are placed on the page. In this case, the image can be copied to the clipboard, and then switched to the word processor and pasted into the desired location in the open document. Pictures are copied by right-clicking and then selecting "Copy Image" from the pop-up context menu. And to paste into the text, just press the key combination CTRL + V. This copying method can be applied not only to images opened in the browser, but also in other applications.
