To insert a graphic that you have on file — such as a photograph, drawing, chart, or graph — place your cursor where you want to insert the graphic and then select the Picture button in the Illustrations group on the Insert tab.

To modify an image that is already in your document, double-click on it and then use the Picture Tools Format tab. This tab allows you to modify the appearance, size, and layout of a picture.

Buttons in the Adjust group enable you to modify many aspects of the picture’s appearance.

Buttons in the Arrange group enable you to position your graphic and control how text wraps around it.
