Q: Why can't
I drag my ClipArt picture to anywhere on the document page? At default, the ClipArt picture are treated as a character in a Word document. You need to change the Text Wrapping of the ClipArt object to have it as a separate object on your document page. |
To change a Microsoft Word ClipArt picture's Text Wrapping, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click on the Microsoft Word ClipArt object once. When you see the 8 selection-handles, you'll know it's selected. The Picture toolbar also appears on your document. |
||||
| 2. | From the Picture toolbar, click the
Text Wrapping button (a black dog with lines
through it). Choose
any of the options given. NOTE: The option "In line with Text" is the one that makes the ClipArt picture a character in the document. |
||||
|
|||||
| 3. | Once you've chosen another Text Wrapping option (I use "In
Front of Text" most of the time), you'll see
your resize-handles changes to white squares. Also added is a green circle at the top-center for Rotation. You can click-and-drag this green circle to see what it does! |
||||
|
|||||
| To move the Microsoft Word ClipArt picture to anywhere on the document, just
place your mouse-pointer on the object. The mouse pointer gets a double-headed arrow cross added to it. Click-and-drag to move the Microsoft Word ClipArt picture. |
|||||
|
|
Once you have added a different
Text Wrapping to a picture, you can also add a border to an image.
