EDITING IMAGES IN WORD

Editing images simply means making changes to a graphic such as a photo, clip art, or -- in this case -- a turkey stationery template.

  • Click View > Page Layout.
  • Click View > Zoom, change to 75 percent, and click OK.
  • Notice that the Thanksgiving stationery covers only � of the page. To make it larger, click once on the image. Do you see the black squares on each corner and in the middle of each side of the image? Click any corner square, and then click, hold, and drag the corner in or out to enlarge or shrink the size of the template.

    Why a corner square? Try clicking the black square in the middle of any side. Notice that the image resembles a funhouse mirror: the turkeys get short and fat or tall and skinny. By clicking a corner instead of a side, you preserve the "aspect ratio"-- the ratio of the height to the width -- so the proportions remain balanced!
