Pictures & Text Wrapping

To insert a picture from your computer, go to the Insert tab and click Pictures. Then choose This Device and select your image.

You can also insert images from online sources. Click Insert → Online Pictures, search for a keyword, select an image, and click Insert.

To resize a picture, click the image and drag a corner handle. Dragging from the corner keeps the image proportional and prevents distortion.

By default, pictures are inserted In Line with Text. To freely move and position a picture, you must change its wrapping style.

Select the image, then click the Layout Options icon or go to Picture Format → Wrap Text.

Word provides several wrapping options: In Line with Text, Square, Tight, Through, Top and Bottom, Behind Text, and In Front of Text.

Square wrapping is commonly used in newsletters because it allows text to flow neatly around the image.

After selecting Square wrapping, drag the image to position it. The surrounding text will automatically adjust around the picture.

Top and Bottom wrapping places text above and below the image only. This is useful when separating content sections.

When using wrapping styles, you can choose Move with Text or Fix Position on Page. Move with Text keeps the image connected to surrounding content.

Instead of manually dragging images, use Picture Format → Position to choose preset layout options.

Use Picture Format → Align to align images precisely. Alignment guides help create professional layouts.

After inserting and wrapping images properly, your newsletter should have balanced spacing, clear structure, and professional image placement.
