resising an image in word 1

[ghostinzman]

I am using Word to make some notes. I use the ctrl-print screen to print to the clipboard. Then I go to Word and do a paste. My problem is the pasted image is too large and I want to reduce it. Can I do this in Word?

Right click on the picture.

Choose FORMAT PICTURE

Click on the SIZE tab

Or, even simpler, select the picture and drag it in from any of the corners. This scales both width and height down proportionately.

To scale only the width or the height, thus changing the picture's aspect ratio, just drag a side or the top/bottom instead.

You can also crop a picture if need be to get rid of anything extraneous, using either the Format|Picture|Picture dialog or the cropping tool on the picture toolbar.

Cheers

that is some great information. since you guys seem to be on a roll, I have one more. Once I paste the screen shot on the word document, is there any tool available that would let me highlight a spot on the image, kinda of like drawing a big red circle around a spot of the picture?

Hi ghostinzman,

Sure is - check out the range of autoshapes available on the drawing toolbar. You can choose the colour & line thickness of these, as well as choosing the background/fill colour and transparency.

Cheers
