Pictures > Changing position and size of pictures

You can change the position of a picture as follows:

▪Cut and Paste

You can move an embedded picture exactly like sections of text: Select the picture and cut it via the ribbon command Home | Cut. Then set the text cursor to the target position and paste the picture there via the ribbon command Home | Paste.

▪Using the mouse

Alternatively, you can use the mouse to move embedded pictures: Click to select the picture and then drag it to the desired target position (with the mouse button held down).

The size of a picture can be changed as follows:

▪Dragging the handles on the selection frame

Click on the picture to select it. A blue selection frame then appears around the picture, which also contains some round "handles". When you drag one of these handles with the mouse, the size of the picture is changed accordingly.

▪Via the dialog box

You can also specify the size of a picture exactly in numeric values. To do this, double-click on the picture with the mouse. The size can be specified exactly on the Format tab. For more information on this dialog box, see Object properties, Format tab.

▪Via the ribbon tab

If you have selected the picture, you will also find input fields for the Width and Height of the picture in the group Resize on the far right of the contextual ribbon tab Picture. Type the desired values here or increase/reduce the values with the small arrow keys next to the input field.

If the option Keep aspect ratio is enabled, changes in height automatically have a proportional effect on width (and vice versa).
