While Microsoft has not made it easy to place and move images inside Word, it does offer ways to do so.The only trouble is finding the correct.

After you insert a graphic (whether it’s a picture, clip art, or an AutoShape) in Word 2007, you probably want to resize it to your liking. Resizing an image is a cinch.

1Click to select the image.

The image grows multiple little dots. You can click and drag these handles to edit the image.

2Press and hold the Shift key.

Holding the Shift key keeps the image proportional. Otherwise, you’d change the image’s dimensions, distorting it.

3Use the mouse to drag one of the image's four corner handles inward or outward to make the image proportionally smaller or larger.

If you’d rather not keep the image proportional, skip Step 2 and just grab a handle (a corner handle or one on the four sides) to resize the image. For example, grab the middle top handle and drag up or down to make the image taller or shorter.

Picture this — you want to insert several images in your Word document. Initially, the pictures are of different sizes, but you want them to be of the same size in your document. While one can take the help of proper photo-editing tools, sometimes, one doesn’t have access to them. In such situations, you can use Microsoft Word itself to resize all the pictures.

There’s no denying the fact that Microsoft Word is amazing when it comes to text. But if you dive deep into it, you will unearth its hidden features related to other things too such as photo editing. For instance, did you know you can give your image a perfectly round shape directly in Word?

Similarly, you can make pictures of the same size in Word. Let’s see how to do that by using the two methods mentioned below.

Method 1: Using Macros

Sometimes, we wish we had a single button where pressing it would perform a difficult task automatically. That’s what macros do in Word.

Macros automate a certain task that otherwise would require you to perform it repeatedly. You can create a macro by either recording the steps that you want to perform or write a set of instructions.

Since we need to resize all the pictures in MS Word, we would be taking the help of Macros. We would create it by writing the code to resize photos. Don’t get confused. Here are the steps in detail:

Step 1: Open the Word file where you want to make all the pictures of the same size.

Step 2: Click on the first photo in the file to select it. Then, click on the View tab at the top.

Step 3: Click on Macros.

Step 4: A pop-up window will open. Type a name in the box under the Macro name. You can name it anything. For the sake of understanding, we would be calling it Resize.

Then, click on Create.

Step 5: A new Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window will open. Select the existing code and delete it.

Step 6: Then, copy and paste one of the following codes into the window.

Step 9: The Macros window will open. Click on Run with your macro selected.

Method 2: Using the Magical Key

Did you know you could repeat your last performed action on Microsoft Office apps by just clicking a button on your keyboard? That key is the F4 on Windows and Y key on Mac.

Tip: On some keyboards, you need to click on the fn and F4 key together.

Here are the steps for this method:

Step 1: Open the Word document that contains your images.

Step 2: Right-click on the first image and select Size and Position.

Step 3: In the Layout box that opens, click on the Size tab. Then, uncheck the box next to Lock aspect ratio. Enter the required values for the height and width of images in the given boxes. Click on Ok.

Step 4: You will notice the size will be changed for the selected image. Now, click on other images one by one and hit the F4 (or fn + F4 on Windows) or Y key (on macOS) for each of them. Doing that will repeat the action done in step 3 — change the height and width of the picture.

Note: Do not perform any other action in between.
