Formatting a Picture in Word First: Click on Picture one time until you see the little boxes around it. Second: Go to the format tab on the top of the screen and click it. Look down and select the word picture. Third: Click on the Layout Tab and then click on SQUARE. Finally: You can move your picture around wherever you want and you can change the size of your picture. Just make sure you resize it from the corners and not the top, bottom, or sides.
