Margins and also inserting photos into text

I am writing a document, a travel itinerary and I want the margins to be the same on the left and right hand side of the page - how do I do this?

Also if I want to insert photographs into the text and to have them all exactly the same size and equal distance apart do I need to import them from a file and do it this way, or can I do it by copying and pasting?

Thanks

Alexia

RE: Margins and also inserting photos into text

Hi Alexia

Thank you for your questions.

To change margins, go to File - Page Setup - Margins - you will be able to set the size for the left and right margins here.

With photos, if you can it is best to save them and then insert them. Right-click on the image you wish to save, then choose Save Picture as from the shortcut menu.

Then you can save a copy of the images onto your computer.

In Word go to Insert - Picture - From File, navigate to where you saved the images, select one, and then click Insert.

To manipulate the image, you can right-click on the picture once it is in the Word document and choose Format Picture. You will have options for getting text to wrap around the picture (if you wish to) and also to resize the image.

If you turn on your Picture toolbar (it may come up automatically on your screen if you select the picture in Word - otherwise View - Toolbars - Picture will bring it up), there is a Crop tool which you can use to cut bits off the picture and make it smaller.

To equally space pictures, select them all (click on one, hold down Shift and keep holding down the Shift key while you click on the other images to select them. Then go to the Drawing toolbar (normally at the bottom of your screen) go to Draw - Align and Distribute - then you can choose to Distribute horizontally or Distribute vertically.

I hope this helps.

RE: Margins

Further to my e-mail a moment ago I guess what I am unsure about also is the difference between indents and margins.

Thanks!

RE: Margins

Hi! What I am having huge problems with is how on earth to get text lined up at exactly the same indent and distance from the either edge of the page throughout the document.
If I insert text copy and pasted from another document this causes even more problems.
EG It might be 0 on the left hand side of the page and 14.5 on the right hand of the page and then suddenly it will change to 0.5 or 16.

Any light you could shed on this would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Alexia
