Adding a Picture Shape in Word

Question

How do I add a picture shape in Word?

Answer

The crop tool in Microsoft Word 2013 allows us to remove unwanted areas of an image inserted into Word. But did you know that you can crop to a shape too? There are a variety of shapes available for us to use as cookie cutters.

The crop tool is available on the Picture Tools contextual tab whenever a picture is selected. Clicking the top half of the crop tool button activates the standard rectangular cropping area that we can re-size using the drag handles on the corners and along the edges. However, if you click on the bottom half of the crop tool button, we see the option Crop to Shape.
