Changing the Size of a Graphic

Summary: Graphics, once placed in a document, can easily be resized to reflect your exact layout needs. This tip describes how you can use the mouse to resize your graphics. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

Once you place a graphic in your document, you can resize it using a very simple technique:

  1. Click on the graphic. A box appears around the object (this is designated by eight squares, or frame handles, around the outside of the graphic).
  2. Use the mouse to point to one of the frame handles. Click on the left mouse button.
  3. Drag the frame handle to resize the graphic.
  4. Release the mouse button when the graphic is the size you want.

Tip #392 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
