MS Word, like any application Microsoft Office, allows you to include objects (drawings, texts, video, audio, etc.) created using other applications in documents.
Objects can be inserted into Word documents in two ways: different ways: How related And How implemented objects.
As noted in laboratory work, objects can be divided into external And internal. It was emphasized that this division is conditional, since everything depends on exactly how the objects were inserted into the MS Word document.
Sometimes, when inserting an object, you need to explicitly indicate that this object is a document of a specific application. There are two important points with this approach. The first is due to the fact that it is often more convenient to process an object by the application whose document this object is (for example, a database fragment, a spreadsheet complex structure with a large amount of calculations, a complex pattern that may change periodically, etc.). In this case, as you already know, a connection is established with the object, and the objects themselves receive the name related objects. Second important point– this is the ability to double edit a document: either in an MS Word document or in the source file.
Hence the presence of two types of related objects. The first type is built-in objects that are part of a document, for which the file where it is stored and the application with which this fragment needs to be modified are specified.
The second type is actually related objects, which are actually stored in separate files and can be changed either as built-in objects, or by changing those very separate files. The latter option, among other things, allows you to significantly reduce the size of an MS Word document.
The first type of objects ends up in an MS Word document as follows: in the “native” application, the required fragment is copied to the Clipboard, then MS Word is launched and the object is pasted into the desired location by command Edit® Special insert.
The second type of objects is inserted using menu mode Insert® Object.
The main advantage of using this method, besides simplicity, is the ability to select part of the source file data to insert into Word document.
To insert a linked object, you must do the following:
1. Select the object data in the source file and select the command Edit ® Copy.
2. Open a Word document and place the cursor in the place where you want to insert the related object.
3. Select a team Edit ® Special insert. In this case, a dialog box will be displayed on the screen Special insert(Figure 1).
4. Select the object format in the list How. In the area below Result displayed short description mode of operation of each type of object in the document.
5. Select an option To tie to insert a related object. (If you select the option Insert the object will be implemented).
6. Click OK.
When working in MS Word the need arises to rotate text, not all users know how to do this. To effectively solve this problem, you should look at the text not as a set of letters, but as an object. It is on the object that you can perform various manipulations, including rotation around an axis in any precise or arbitrary direction.
We have already discussed the topic of rotating text earlier, in this article I would like to talk about how to do it in Word mirror reflection text. Although the task seems more complicated, it can be solved using the same method and a couple of additional mouse clicks.
1. Create a text field. To do this, in the tab "Insert" in Group "Text" select item "Text field".
2. Copy the text you want to mirror ( CTRL+C) and paste into the text field ( CTRL+V). If the text is not yet printed, enter it directly into the text field.
3. Execute necessary manipulations above the text inside the text field - change the font, size, color and other important parameters.
You can mirror text in two directions—relative to the vertical (top to bottom) and horizontal (left to right) axes. In both cases, this can be done using the tab tools "Format", which appears on the panel quick access after adding the shape.
1. Double-click on the text field to open the tab "Format".
2. In a group "Arrange" click the button "To turn" and select "Flip Left to Right"(horizontal reflection) or "Reflect from top to bottom"(vertical reflection).
3. The text inside the text box will be mirrored.
Make the text field transparent by following these steps:
Horizontal reflection can also be done manually. To do this, you simply need to swap the top and bottom edges of the text box shape. That is, you need to click on the middle marker on the top edge and drag it down, placing it under the bottom edge. The text field shape, its rotation arrow will also be at the bottom.
Now you know how to mirror text in Word.
In Word every day around the world a huge number of text documents. For some, this is a work report, a thesis, an essay, course work. And every second user is faced with adding pictures to a document. Although many, to the best of their ability or ignorance, omit this moment. It just seems like inserting a picture takes a long time. And if you suddenly need to make a mirror image of a picture, then the older generation will probably ask a friend or loved one for help, or maybe skip this step altogether, citing lack of time. Let's figure out the problem that has arisen together.
You can mirror your drawing using the following steps. Initially, insert the image into the Word document:
To display an image you need:
There are situations when it is necessary to change the direction of the drawing. IN in this case, you need to change the direction of Santa Claus to the left. To flip the image horizontally you need to do the following:
Note. If you need to place two pictures next to the original result as in the screenshot above, you need to copy the picture and then set the desired reflection.
To achieve the desired effect when reflecting a photo, you can adjust all the parameters manually. Click on the photo and go to the “Format” tab.
In the “Picture Format” window, set the desired type of “Blanks”, for example “Medium... touch”.
Note. You can mirror a photo with a shift of several points from the original picture; to do this, you need to select the “Reflection at 4 pt or 8 pt” option.
Any shift can be observed even with the active Format Picture window open. To do this, move the parameters window to the left or right of the image that is located on the Word document sheet.
It is often necessary to decorate texts artistically or provide them with illustrative material. WORD provides the ability to insert into the text or one of the standard pictures with the command Insert/Drawing/Pictures , or a drawing from a previously prepared file with the command Insert/Drawing/From File. WORD supports insertion of most known external formats graphic files (bmp, gif, jpg, pcx, tif, wmf and etc.).
Simple drawings can be made using the program itself WORD. Graphics include AutoShapes, Curves, Lines, and Objects WordArt. To change these objects, as well as their colors, fills, borders and other parameters, use the toolbar Drawing. It opens with the command View/Toolbars/Drawing.
IN WORD includes a set of ready-made autoshapes that can be used in documents. You can resize them, rotate them, flip them, and combine them with other shapes to create more complex shapes. Menu AutoShapes on the toolbar Drawing contains several categories of shapes: lines, basic shapes, flowchart elements, stars and ribbons, and callouts.
To draw a straight line you need to select from the list AutoShapes paragraph Lines, and then select linetype (). When drawing a line, it is necessary to take into account: in order for the angle of inclination of the line to be a multiple of 15 degrees, you must hold down the key; To make the line continue in both directions from the starting point, hold down the key.
Tool Curve used to draw curves with increased accuracy. To draw a curve on the toolbar Drawing you have to press a button AutoShapes and select a team Lines and then the tool Curve. First you need to click the beginning of the shape, and then move the mouse, clicking in the places where you want to place the nodes of the curve. To leave the curve open, double-click any point on it. To close a shape, click near its starting point.
Tool Polyline used to obtain a better quality drawing, without stepped lines and sudden changes in direction. To draw curved segments, drag and drop is used. To draw a straight line segment, click the beginning and end of the segment. To leave the curve open, double-click any point on it. To snap a shape, click near its starting point.
To make an object look like it was drawn with a pencil, use the tool hand drawn curve. The resulting figure will have almost the same appearance as on the screen.
If you need to edit an existing curve or polyline, you should select it in the toolbar Drawing expand list Actions and select the item Start changing nodes. To change the shape of an object, you need to drag one of its nodes. To add a node to an object, simply click the location where you want to add it. Delete a node by clicking on it while holding down the key. If after selecting the command Start changing nodes click node right click mouse, a context menu will appear on the screen containing commands for adding, deleting, and changing the appearance of nodes.
Other items on the list AutoShapes contain a large number of various graphic objects:
To insert the correct shape (square, circle), you should select the tool Oval or Rectangle, but while drawing, hold down the key.
You can create a fairly complex drawing from individual graphic objects. In order for the program to consider it (or some part of it) as a single whole, you should select the necessary objects and give the command Actions/Group. After this, copying or moving the given picture is easier. If you need to edit any object included in the group, you must first give the command Actions/Ungroup.
To make it easier to create pictures, commands have been added to the Actions list Rotate/Flip, Align/Distribute(in particular Align Center– convenient for drawing concentric circles), Shift, Order.
The graphic grid is designed to align graphic objects, such as autoshapes. When you move an object or autoshape, alignment is performed along the nearest lines of the graphic grid. By default, graphic grid lines are not visible on the screen, but you can display them. The default spacing between graphic grid lines is 0.13 inches (minimum spacing is 0.1cm), however it is possible to change both the vertical and horizontal spacing between graphic grid lines. You can configure the grid with the command Actions/Grid.
WORD provides the opportunity not only to add a picture, but also to place it in the required manner in relation to the rest of the text. The desired way of text wrapping around a picture can be specified with the command Actions/Text Wrapping. Another way to set the position of a picture in the text: right-click on the picture and in the window that opens context menu select item Object Format. On the tab Position you can set the desired method of text wrapping, and to clarify some parameters, click on the button Additionally.
You can insert any text into a picture using the tool Inscription. To do this, mark or highlight with a frame while holding left button mouse, the place in the document where you want to insert the inscription. A blinking cursor will appear inside the frame. You can format the inscription font in the usual way. Clicking outside the text box makes it part of the drawing. To edit an inscription, just click on it with the mouse.
You can also add text to an AutoShape and use it as a text box. To add text, right-click any shape (except straight lines and polylines), select the command Add text in the context menu, and then enter the desired text. To change or add existing text, select the command Change text in the context menu, and then make the necessary changes.
The appearance of graphic objects, including labels, can be improved by changing the type and color of lines, fill and font, applying volumetric or shading effects using panel tools Drawing.
Use the button to insert artistic text Add an object WordArt on the toolbar Drawing. With this tool, you can create skewed, rotated, and stretched text, as well as text with shadows and text that fits within specific shapes. The desired view text is selected from the opening palette WordArt Collection. Then enter text into the dialog box Changing WordArt Text, set the font format and click OK. Since decorated text is a graphic object, you can also use other buttons on the Drawing toolbar to change it, for example, fill the text with some kind of drawing.
If you are working with multiple objects and need to move or apply to them general formatting, there is no need to select these objects every time. you can use grouping in Word, which allows you to manage these objects as a single whole. This way Word allows group objects together so that they can be processed by the program as one object.
Or right-click and from the drop-down menu select " Group» --> « Group»:
To ungroup grouped objects, do one of the following:
Objects will be ungrouped.
OK it's all over Now. Now you know how to do grouping in Word. Now you can move, rotate, flip grouped objects as one whole. And of course you can ungroup or regroup objects at any time.
