Adding Photos to Word

Dear 5th grade students,

Did you go home after class this week and show your parents what you can do with Microsoft Word? Most grown ups don’t know how to do most of the tricks with Word we learned about in class these past two weeks!

For example, the trick you used to place photos onto the page and set them up so that you could drag and drop them anywhere you wanted. All you do is double click on an image in your document. A dialog box will pop up. Click on the “layout” tab and choose either “behind text” or “in front of text” and click “OK”.

Now you’ll notice that when you move your mouse pointer over the picture, the pointer turns into a little hand. Click on the photo and drag it to anyplace on your document. You can put it anywhere, even partially off the screen, and it will actually stay put! Amazing!
