LO: How to Insert images in a document or


presentation

Success criteria: Students can insert and edit images


in a document.
Images
In this chapter you will learn how to:
★ insert an image
★ resize an image to maintain or adjust the aspect ratio of an image
★ wrap text around an image
★ place an image with precision
★ place a border around an image
★ rotate an image
★ crop an image
★ reflect an image
★ adjust the brightness and contrast of an image
★ group and layer images.
Software tools
You will need to know how to place image files into different application packages.

Images are unlikely to be included in the spreadsheets and databases elements of

the course.

However, images will be placed in both word-processed documents and presentations.

First you must select images appropriate for the document’s audience.

Create a new folder called Chapter 12 and then create two new sub-folders called

Source Files and Worked.

Locate all the source files and copy them into your source files folder.
Task 12a
A short historical news article is to be given to young adults

aged 15–25 to study.

Open the document snow.rtf. Insert the images

snowball.jpg, snowman.jpg and trees.jpg at the end of

the document.
Task 12a

This task requires a document rather than a presentation, although the methods

shown are identical in both packages. Use the Search tool to find Microsoft Word
and open this package.

From the File tab select Open and locate and open the file snow.rtf.

Replace the text <Your Name> with your name, centre number.

Create a new folder called Task 12a.

Select the File tab, then Save As to save your document, in this folder, as a Word
document (.docx) with the filename task12a.
Insert images in a document or presentation
Edit an image

It is important that an image included in any document, presentation or publication in any form
should be appropriate to the subject matter.

Making choices

Read the question and text carefully to try and understand which image would be the best and why.

Does this image need editing? Is the image the correct shape to fit the position you wish to place it?

If the image needed to be in landscape orientation you would need to crop it. Where do you crop it?

If you crop the top off the image the watering can on the wall will be lost, which gives the viewer an
idea of the depth of the snow, but so do the bricks in the wall.
Edit an image

Do you crop the bottom from the image and remove lots of the white snow?

The choices are yours depending upon what message you want the image to give.

Is it the depth of the snow?

Is it the dog playing in the snow?

If this image needs to be in landscape orientation and no alternative image is available,

then you must crop the image rather than compressing or distorting it. Images should

retain the correct proportions between width and height; this is called the aspect ratio.
Resize an image - Task 12b

Open the file task12a.

1. Resize the image snowball.jpg to 8cm high and maintain its aspect ratio.

2. Place this at the top right of the first paragraph.

3. Resize the image of the snowman to 2.6cm high and 2cm wide.

4. Save the document as task12b.

Resize an image in Microsoft Word

Find the image snowball.jpg in your document.

Click the right mouse button on this image to get a drop-down menu. Select from this menu the Size and

Position... option.
