Resizing an image
You can change the size of an image by dragging the selection handles or by entering a specific
height or width in the Image Properties dialog box.
To avoid distorting your image, you can constrain proportions when you resize an image. This
means that you change the height and width of the image by the same percentage.
To change the size of an image in a draft, do one of the following:
•
Select the image, then drag one of the selection handles to the desired image size.
Tip: Hold the Shift key, then drag the corner selection handle to constrain proportions so that the image is not
distorted as you drag.
•
Double-click the image, then change the height or width in the Image Properties dialog box.
Tip: Select Constrain proportions in the dialog box to maintain the image aspect ratio, so that the image is
not distorted.
•
Right-click the image, then select Image Properties (or Reset Size if you’ve previously changed
the image’s size) from the pop-up menu. Enter a new height and width in the Image Properties
dialog box, then click
OK .
Tip: Select Constrain proportions in the dialog box to maintain the image aspect ratio, so that the image is
not distorted.

around the image, you can change how the image aligns with surrounding elements.
To move an image on a draft, do one of the following:
•
Drag the image to a new location.
•
Select the image, then copy (or cut) and paste the image in a new location.
