I am trying to figure out why Microsoft Word 2011 for the Mac won't let me wrap the text I wrote for an English project around a picture. I looked up tutorials online and they didn't help. I don't know what the problem is. Align an object in relation to text. Click the object to select it. Click the Format tab (or the Format Picture tab if you've selected a picture). Under Arrange, click Wrap Text, and then click a style other than In Line with Text (for example, Tight ). In the document, drag the object where you want it.
Although Microsoft Word is a word processing program, it also offers some photo editing tools, as we've already seen in this article. Perhaps one of the most useful photo editing tools found in Word 2016 is the background removal tool. This tool allows you to remove backgrounds from your images.
We are going to remove the background from our image:
To use this tool, double click on the image for which you want to remove the background. Click on the Remove Background button in the Adjust group under the Picture Tools Format tab.
When you click the Remove Background button, you will see the Background Removal tab appear on the Ribbon. Your image's background – and possibly your image – will also change colors. Don't worry. This is temporary.
The areas that appear in purple are the areas that Word has determined are background areas that it needs to remove. If there is purple on any areas of your image that you want to keep, you can drag the handles of the bounding box that appears over the image. Drag the handles outward to keep more of the image.
In the snapshot above, you can see that the stem of the flower and part of a petal appear purple. If we leave them purple, they will be removed from the image. We can drag the hands of the bounding box to fix this, as pictured below.
After you adjust the bounding box, if there are still areas of your image that are purple that are not supposed to be purple, go to the Background Removal tab in the Ribbon. Remember, any areas that are purple are considered background areas by Word.
Click the Mark Areas to Keep button.
Your cursor will turn into a pencil.
Simply click on an area that you want to keep.
As shown in the snapshot above, a plus sign appears where you clicked. If you look at our previous snapshot, you can see this area used to be purple, but by clicking on it, it's restored to its original color.
We can now click on all areas we want to keep.
You can also mark areas of your image for removal. It's quite possible that Word will not detect all background areas, so those areas will not appear purple. To mark areas you want the tool to remove, go to the Ribbon and click Mark Areas to Remove.
Click on the areas to remove just as you clicked on the areas you wanted to keep. However, this time, those areas will turn purple.
