Formatting pictures

This section discusses the formatting of pictures inserted with one of

the methods explained in “Inserting pictures” on page 89.

Moving a picture

1) Click the picture, if necessary, to show the green resizing handles.

2) Move the pointer over the picture until the pointer changes

shape. On most operating systems, the cursor associated with

moving objects is a four headed arrow, but it may also be a hand

or some other symbol.

3) Click and drag the picture to the desired position.

4) Release the mouse button.

For a more accurate placement of the picture, use the Position and

Size dialog box described in Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic Objects).

Resizing a picture

1) Click the picture, if necessary, to show the green resizing handles.

2) Position the pointer over one of the green resizing handles. The

pointer changes shape giving a graphical representation of the

direction of the resizing.

3) Click and drag to resize the picture.
