Yours is by far the best and most helpful video I've seen so far as I try to learn to use word as I create my father's wartime story, all the other videos I've seen go at 100mph whilst your calm,patient,clear voice is just what I needed to help me to absorb the information. The subtitles are also extremely helpful as I kept pausing the video to take notes for future reference. I'm quite sure I'll encounter many obstacles as I move forward with the project but you have been so helpful, despite the distance! Thankyou from Steven in North Wales.UK.

[@peacefulable]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering why when I will stretch my picture it will become larger, then it will become blurry

[@erinwrightwriting]

Great question! Images will become blurry if you stretch them larger than their original resolution (i.e., pixels per inch). So, if you want to include a large image, you may have to insert it again using a higher resolution file. Thank you for watching!

[@stevenjackson5106]

Ma'am, thank you so much for making this video, I always enjoy your videos, I find them helpful, in here, i knew some of the tricks, but you explained them in detail, in a smooth way so that everyone can understand. Thank you once again, Do you also make tutorials on MS PowerPoint and Excel? I would be delirious if you make tutorials on those programs too. By the way I have Microsoft Offices 2013.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for your kind words about my videos! Excel is a bit out of my wheelhouse; however, I am thinking about making a few introductory PowerPoint tutorials in the near future. If they get a positive reception, I may add PowerPoint to my current lineup--so stay tuned!

Thanks Erin for this easy to understand video. I was wondering if it is possible to do 'bulk re-sizing' of photos. I want to include photos in a Membership Directory and would like for them to all be the same or similar size. I have had difficulty eyeballing the sizes when doing one at a time. I look forward to your reply. Thanks again.

[@erinwrightwriting]

That is a great question! I am not aware of a method to bulk-resize photos with Word's built-in tools without actually selecting each of the pictures. There are several articles online describing a macro that can help, but I am not sure how reliable that method is, so I hesitate to share any links directly. If I find a more straightforward solution, I will be sure to post about it. Best of luck!

Hello….do you have a video on how to insert images for the purposes of diagrams and tips for adding arrows & text boxes? I had the unfortunate situation of having about 12 pages typed so far. The first diagram i designed was on around Page 7. When i went back to around page 3 for example to simply edit & add more text on a text only page, to my dismay i realized that by doing that it bumped my diagram on Page 7 and completely jumbled up the photo, arrows, and text boxes. I had to add a blank page and completely redo my diagram. Any help to avoid this happening again would be much appreciated….

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! I don't have a tutorial addressing all those issues, yet. However, one solution would be to put your image, arrows and text boxes together in a Drawing Canvas. The Drawing Canvas will then act as a box to keep the items together as the content above expands. You can access the Drawing Canvas on the Draw tab in the ribbon.

[@erinwrightwriting]

That's a great question! In Word for Microsoft 365, right-click the image you want to replace and select "Change picture" from the shortcut menu. Then, choose a new picture as you normally would. In most cases, it will be inserted in the same dimensions as the original crop. (I can't guarantee these steps will work in older versions of the software, but it might be worth a try.) Best of luck!

@@erinwrightwriting Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using a MacBrook Pro, no mouse, so Control/Click brings up the menu and I've replaced the photo, but it does not maintain the size nor crop.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you for watching! When using the "In line with text" option, the image doesn't get wrapped by the text.
