How to Reposition a Picture on a Mac

When using the program Word on a Mac operating system, sometimes the image you have selected for your document can float, move or have its edges cut off. That is because Word automatically places the image in line with your text, which can cause an odd look and may not be where you want it. Here is how to reposition your image.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Click on the document where you want to place the picture, then go to the Insert menu -> Picture -> From File. Find your image on your hard drive and double click it.
2. Go to the Format menu -> Picture -> Layout tab.
3. On the Layout tab, click the Advanced button, then the Text Wrapping tab.
4. On the Text Wrapping tab, click the style you wish (usually Top and Bottom is the most common, but it depends on your image).
5. In the Top, Bottom, Left and Right boxes, specify the distance you want the image to be from the text.
6. Click the Picture Position tab and adjust the horizontal and vertical placement of your image.
7. When satisfied, save your selections by clicking OK in each open tab.

Tips & Warnings

• When selecting some elements in the advanced layout tab, some options may be dimmed, which means they are not available and will do nothing when you click on them.
