UNIT 1 – DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION (ADVANCED)

SESSION 2: INSERT AND USE IMAGES

1. List any three methods of inserting images in a text document.

The three methods of inserting images in a text document are:

i) Drag and drop

ii) Insert Picture using dialog

iii) Inserting an image from the clipboard

iv) Inserting an image using scanner

v) Inserting an image from the Gallery

2. What do you understand by the terms :

a. Text Wrapping

b. Anchoring

Text Wrapping:

Text wrapping refers to the relation of graphics to the surrounding text, which may wrap
around the graphic on one or both sides, be overprinted behind or in front of the graphic.

Anchoring:

It refers to the reference point for the graphics. This point could be the page, or frame
where the object is. An image always has an anchor point.

3. Write the steps to modify an image?

➢ When we insert a new image, we may need to modify it to suit the document.

➢ When we insert an image or select an image already present in the document,


the Picture toolbar appears.

➢ We can set it to always be present by (View > Toolbars > Picture).

➢ Picture tool bar we have picture control buttons like Filter, Graphics Mode, colour,
Transparency, etc. using that we can modify the image.
4. How to resize an image?

Steps to resize the image in Writer are

 Click the picture, to show the green resizing handles.


 Position the pointer over one of the green resizing handles.
 Click and drag to resize the picture.

5. How to rotate a picture?

Writer does not provide a tool for rotating a picture; however, there is a simple
workaround.

 Open a new Draw or Impress document.


 Insert the image you want to rotate.
 Select the image and select the rotate icon from the Drawing toolbar.
 Rotate the image as desired.
 Select and Copy the rotated image and paste it in Writer document.
6. How to create drawing objects

We can draw the object using drawing toolbar by clicking View > Toolbars > Drawing.
Steps to use a drawing tool are :
 Click in the document where we want to insert the object.
 Select the tool from the Drawing toolbar.
 Click and drag to create the drawing object.
 After inserting the object we can change the properties (fill color, line type and
weight, anchoring, and others) of the drawing object using the Drawing Object
Properties toolbar.

8. How to resize a drawing object?

 Select the object, click on one of the eight handles around it and drag it to its
new position.
 For a scaled resizing, select one of the corner handles and keep the Shift key pressed
while dragging the handle to its new position.
 For more sophisticated control of the size of the object, select Format > Object
> Position and Size from the menu bar.
 Use the Position and Size dialog box to set the width and height independently.
 If the Keep ratio option is selected, then the two dimensions change so that the
proportion is maintained, allowing for a scaled resizing.

9. What do you understand by the terms?

(a) Keep ratio (b) Keep scale

Keep ratio: Maintains proportions when we resize the selected object.

Keep scale: In Picture tool bar we have crop (page) option under that we have keep scale
option. When Keep scale is selected (default), cropping the image does not change the scale
of the picture.

10. What are the steps to crop Images in open office writer?

bar, the image toolbar will appear.
