This video demonstrates how to work with basic objects in Microsoft Word, focusing on inserting and resizing images and creating simple tables. Learn how to:
• Insert an image into your Word document by navigating to the Insert tab and selecting Pictures. You'll see options to insert from "This Device" or "Online Pictures".
• Resize images by clicking on the image and using the corner resize handles. Remember to click and drag inward while holding the Shift key to maintain the aspect ratio. Avoid dragging from the top or sides to prevent distortion.
• Alternatively, learn to resize images using the Picture Format tab (which appears when an image is selected) and the Size group, where you can manually adjust the height and width as a percentage of the original size. This contextual tab only appears when an image is selected.
• Save your document using the File tab and clicking "Save" (or using Ctrl+S/Command+S) after the initial save. The video also shows how to save a document with a specific name, in this case, "image practice".
• Enhance your images by applying picture styles and borders via the Picture Format tab. Explore options like shadows and 3D rotations.
• Insert a table by going to the Insert tab and clicking on Tables. You can either select a default size or choose "Insert Table" to specify the number of columns and rows you need. This tutorial provides a practical exercise in inserting and resizing an image to 50% of its original size and creating a basic table in Microsoft Word. It covers essential skills for working with visual and structured content in your documents.
