Modifying Picture Size
Once you have inserted a picture, clip art and other objects into your document, you can adapt them to meet your needs. Like any object, you can resize a picture. You can use the sizing handles to quickly resize a picture or use height and width options in the Size group on the Format tab to resize a picture more precisely. If you want to set unique or multiple options at the same time, you can use the Size and Position dialog box. These options allow you to make sure your pictures keep the same relative proportions as the original and lock size proportions.
Resize a Picture
Click the object you want to resize.
Drag one of the sizing handles to increase or decrease the object’s size.
- Drag a middle handle to resize the object up, down, left, or right.
- Drag a corner handle to resize the object proportionally.
