Add an image to a Word document

1. Open Word. You should have a blank document on your screen.

2. 

   Click the "Insert" tab along the ribbon at the top of Word. Then click "Picture".

   Insert the image. Once you have located the image, click on the image and then click the "Insert" button.

   Resize your image. You will now see your image on the Word document with little squares and circles on it. Change the size of the image by dragging the circles and squares at the edges of the image.

6. 

   Save the Word document. Now that you have the image inserted, you now need to convert the Word document into Web format. Go to the upper left corner of your Word document and click on the Windows icon as shown in the image.

7. 

   Convert the document to Web page format. You should now see a pop-up window. Go to the bottom and look for "Save as type". Click the arrow to the right and you should see a drop down list. Select "Single page Web Page". Now click the "Save" button. You have now saved the Web page to your computer.
