| Transfer
an Image from the Web to a Word Document |
The Web is rich in images. If you copy and include the image in something
you write, the origin of the image should be acknowledged. At the
minimum, give the title of the Web site and the complete URL (you
can just copy and paste the URL into your Word document -- highlight
the URL, then Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste).
Go
to one of the following sites and select an image.
To
insert an image into a Word document:
-
- Go to your image.
Right
click on it. Scroll down to Copy
- Go to your Word
document. Position your cursor to where you want your image to be.
Paste the picture (File -> Paste; or, use Ctl
V)
-
Under
(or near) the image, type the word Source and include the
title of the Web site where you got the image and its URL.
Your
image is there. Word is not PhotoShop (an expensive software program
for altering images) -- you can't really "doctor up" your
image, but you can do some manipulations.
You
can write next to and below the image. To put
text around the image -- click on the image,
go to Format -> Picture. Click on Layout tab, and select
the wrapping format you want. You can also change the size and do some
other minor alterations.
