What do you want to do?
Insert a picture in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel
- Click the location in your document where you want to insert a picture.
- On the Insert tab, click Pictures.
Tip: The picture is embedded in your document. If your picture has a large file size and makes your document too large, you can reduce the size of your document by linking to the picture instead of embedding it. In the Choose a Picture dialog box, select the Link to File box.
Insert a picture in Outlook
You can insert a picture or photo into the body of an email message, instead of attaching the file. Inserting a picture requires that your message uses HTML formatting. To set HTML formatting, select Options > HTML.
- In the body of your message, click where you want to add a picture.
- On the Message tab, click Pictures.
Select the option you want to use for inserting pictures. The Photo Browser option helps you browse through existing photo sets on your computer, such as photos in iPhoto or Photo Booth. Picture from File lets you browse through your computer's file structure to look for photos.
When you find the picture you want, drag it from the Photo Browser into your document, or click Open in the file browser. Resize the picture, if necessary, by clicking one of the handles that surround the picture and dragging it. Click the handle at the top of the picture to rotate it.
Replace a picture in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel
