Words Matter Word is a pretty document editor, and though it is not the best word processor in the world, it still gets the job done.But Google too looked at Word for inspiration when it was trying to come up with an interface.One issue that users have faced continuously with Word is the inability to move around, and adjust, images and place them correctly in Word.While Microsoft has not made it easy to place and move images inside Word, it does offer ways to do so.
These options are not so obvious and can be hard to see if you dont know where to look. I will show you how you can place images in Word without having to curse Microsoft while pulling your hair out or biting your nails off Lets begin. Set It Right Before you begin adding images, you will have to configure Word to play nice with pictures. There are two settings to make it easier for you to add images that dont act and look like text because its not. Ideally, you should be able to drag it to wherever you want inside Word. To make anchor points visible, open Word and click on File button. Then click on Options at the bottom of the screen in the sidebar. You will now see the anchor symbol whenever you insert an image. Inside Word Options above, there is another tab called Advanced. Under Cut, copy, and paste, you will find Insert pictures as an option. That will tell Word to stop treating pictures as text but instead as images. You can either drag and drop the image directly from your hard drive or use the Insert function. To do the later, click on Insert and select Pictures to launch a pop-up. Word will treat the image as an object now instead of text, and you will see how the text flows around the picture now. This anchor symbol marks the location (paragraph to be more precise) associating to the image. ![]() You will notice that dragging images around Word document is a lot easier now, but it is still not perfect. Just click once on the image you want to format to reveal resize and movable buttons around the image. The first one is Position where the image is set to the Absolute position to the right of Column horizontally, and below the paragraph vertically. The second tab is Text Wrapping which you can use to place the image behind the text or front, and determine whether the text is wrapped from on sides or only leftright. While you can also use the resize and angle handles we saw above, this tab will let lock aspect ratio and keep it relative to the original picture size. While the resize and angle option that appears upon selecting the image can also be used, Layout formatting options will let you be more precise with your input values.
