Hour 17. Manipulating Images

Hour 17. Manipulating Images

Putting an image in your document is a bit like bringing home a new piece of furniture. After you get it in the door, you have to play around a bit to make it blend in with its surroundings. Word lets you modify images (photographs, artwork, drawing objects and the drawing canvas, and WordArt) in a myriad of ways. In this hour, you'll try out quite a few techniques for manipulating images. You should also feel free to experiment more on your own, and remember that if you botch something badly , you can always click the Undo button.

The highlights of this hour include

• Resizing and moving images

• Controlling the way that text wraps around an image

• Cropping out part of an image

• Making your image look good

• Working with multiple images
