When you insert a graphic, it appeared in the document as an inline graphic, by default. An inline graphic is treated like a character and aligns with the current paragraph. You can change an inline graphic to a floating graphic. A floating graphic is placed on the drawing later of the word document. You can move the floating graphic freely and layer it behind or in front or text or other objects, changing how text wraps around the graphic. This feature is called text wrapping.
TIP: As you drag a floating picture where it displays a dotted line. Always use top edge as a guide where to stop
TIP: to align a picture use the alignment buttons on the formatting toolbar. To align a gloating picture, open the Format Picture dialog box and select the Layout tab.
TIP: To fine-tune the position of a floating graphic, use the arrow-keys. To move a graphic by very small increments, hold down Ctrl as you make the arrow keys.
