To create a simple handout that only needs a few visuals or maybe a basic flyer, Microsoft Word can be your go-to. However, putting an image into Microsoft Word exactly as you have it in your head can be difficult if you don't know exactly how. Getting the images in can be handled in a few ways depending on how you want it to look with your text. Once it's in place, you can even change the size and angle of the image. Read on to learn more.

INSERTING AN IMAGE INTO MICROSOFT WORD 

Place your cursor where you'd like your image to go and left click. Then go to the Insert tab (1) at the top of Microsoft Word.

In the Insert tab, there's an Illustrations section where you select Pictures. This brings a dropdown of options for you to choose from.

If you don't already have an image in mind, you can use the Insert Picture From choices of Stock Images or Online Pictures
