How to Insert a JPG (or Picture) File Into a Word Document

The instructions provided below will help you to insert a jpg file (that is, a picture file) into a Word document, and make some simple changes to it. These instructions use a free printable jpg file, provided by Mom’s Break (www.momsbreak.com), but you can follow these same steps for inserting any jpg file into a Word document.

I've done an illustrated tutorial that will show you exactly what to do! So, before you go any further, go to the illustrated instructions:

The instructions will open in a new window for your convenience. These instructions contain several pictures, so it might take several (long) seconds for the page to open. Once the page does open, then allow a few extra seconds for all the pictures to appear.

Following along with the illustrated instructions, here's how to insert a jpg file into a Word document.

1. Open a Word document, and click on Insert on your toolbar. Next, click on Picture, and then click on From File.

2. After you click on From File (in step 1), locate the jpg file that you want to insert. You locate the file just as you would for any other file that you are looking for, but clicking on the arrow in the “Look for” field, and clicking on the place or folder that has the jpg file. When you find your jpg file, click on it and then click Insert.

3. You may have to play with the jpg image a little bit, to make it the size that you want. Before you do that, print a test copy. Go to File, and click on Print.

4. If you need to make the picture fit the page better, then switch to Print Layout view. You can do that by either following the simple instructions given above (for putting this How To document into Print Layout view), or you can click on the print layout view button at the bottom of your screen. It is the third button from the left.

5. Once you have switched to Print Layout view, you can “see” the size of the paper, and the edges of the picture. Click on the picture. Now move the cursor to the bottom edge of the picture, right in the middle. The cursor will change to an up and down arrow. Hold down the mouse bottom and drag the mouse. You can make the picture bigger or smaller.

You have now inserted a jpg picture (picture) into a Word document! For more about how to add text before, after, or in between the pictures, go to "More About Working With JPG Files in a Word Document" at:
