Crop a Picture When you crop a picture, you cut away the outer edge of the picture to create a new version. Let's crop the picture below. Click on the image to select it. You will see a bounding box around the image.
Right click on the image, and you'll see the Crop option in the menu. We've highlighted it below. You'll now see crop marks around the image – at all four corners and on each side. These are the black marks. Click and drag your mouse on any of these marks. Click and drag inward on the image until you have cropped away the area you want to get rid of in the image.
The area you're cropping away is shaded in gray. Click outside of the image and gray area to remove the cropped area. Removing Backgrounds from Images Although Microsoft Word is a word processing program, it also offers some photo editing tools, as we've already seen in this article. Perhaps one of the most useful photo editing tools found in Word 2016 is the background removal tool. This tool allows you to remove backgrounds from your images. We are going to remove the background from our image: To use this tool, double click on the image for which you want to remove the background. Click on the Remove Background button in the Adjust group under the Picture Tools Format tab.
When you click the Remove Background button, you will see the Background Removal tab appear on the Ribbon. Word updates for mac. Your image's background – and possibly your image – will also change colors. Don't worry. This is temporary. The areas that appear in purple are the areas that Word has determined are background areas that it needs to remove. If there is purple on any areas of your image that you want to keep, you can drag the handles of the bounding box that appears over the image.
Drag the handles outward to keep more of the image. In the snapshot above, you can see that the stem of the flower and part of a petal appear purple. If we leave them purple, they will be removed from the image.
We can drag the hands of the bounding box to fix this, as pictured below. After you adjust the bounding box, if there are still areas of your image that are purple that are not supposed to be purple, go to the Background Removal tab in the Ribbon. Remember, any areas that are purple are considered background areas by Word. Click the Mark Areas to Keep button. Your cursor will turn into a pencil.
Simply click on an area that you want to keep. As shown in the snapshot above, a plus sign appears where you clicked. If you look at our previous snapshot, you can see this area used to be purple, but by clicking on it, it's restored to its original color. We can now click on all areas we want to keep. You can also mark areas of your image for removal.
It's quite possible that Word will not detect all background areas, so those areas will not appear purple. To mark areas you want the tool to remove, go to the Ribbon and click Mark Areas to Remove. Click on the areas to remove just as you clicked on the areas you wanted to keep. However, this time, those areas will turn purple. Wrap and Position Text around Images Word 2016 can also wrap paragraphs around a picture, charts and graphs as in the example below. To wrap text around a picture or art object, double click on the image. The Format tab will appear in the Ribbon. Go to the Arrange group.
In the Arrange group, click Position to view the dropdown menu. In the dropdown menu, you will see thumbnail-sized illustrations of documents with images in them. The location of the image in the illustration shows you where your image will be placed in relation to your text. To wrap text around an image, click the Wrap Text button to wrap the text around an image. When you click the button, the following dropdown menu will appear: • Square means your image sits on the same plane as the text. The text flows around the image in a square pattern. • Tight text flows around the image, hugging its shape. If you insert a circular shape, the text will take a circular pattern around the text. • Through means that the text will flow around the image as best as possible. • Top and Bottom means text will appear on top of the image and at the bottom.
