Cropping Images in Word

Question

How do I crop an image in Word? 

Answer

Cropping a photo allows you to easily remove parts of an image. To crop a photo, first you must have your photo selected so that the contextual Picture Tools tab appears. Click Crop in the Size group. The pointer changes to a cropping tool. Position the tool on the edge or corner of the image where you want to begin cropping. Drag the side or corner of the image inward until the portion of the picture you want to remove has been cropped out. You may also crop a photo by right-clicking on the photo and clicking on the Crop button hovering over the photo. This will allow you to more easily crop a photo from the sides or corners of the photo.
