File svg in word

To insert an SVG file in Office for Mac just use Insert > Pictures like any other image file.

There are several things you can do to customize how your SVG image looks in your document. To access those tools click on your SVG image and a contextual Graphic Format tab should appear on the Ribbon. Let’s take a look at some of the more useful options the Graphic Format tab offers you.

• Change Graphic — This lets you select a different image to replace the current image with.

• Graphics Styles — The gallery contains a collection of pre-defined styles for converting your image to a line drawing or changing the fill color of it. In the example below I’ve inserted a logo of a bicycle and the original is all black. In the Styles Gallery I’ve selected a preset that has a light blue fill to match my company theme.

  

• If you want to change the color of your image and none of the styles in the gallery are quite what you want, Graphics Fill lets you choose from hundreds of colors. Whatever color you choose is going to apply to the entire image.

• Looking to give your SVG images a little extra style? Graphics Effects helps you add drop shadows, glows, 3D effects and more to your images. In the example below I’ve selected a perspective shadow to make my image appear a bit more three-dimensional.

• To change (or remove) the line around your SVG image choose Graphics Outline. This lets you set the color of the border surrounding your image. The eyedropper tool described above works here too.

• To control how text flows around your SVG image use the Wrap Text tool.

• You can use the Bring Forward or Send Backward tools to layer your image on the page. This is handy if you want to place other objects in front of (or behind) your image.

• The Selection Pane tool makes it a little easier to select specific items on a complex page.

• Align makes it easier to place your selected image along the left edge, in the middle or at other known places on the page.

• If you have multiple images that you’d like to treat as a single object, select the first object, hold down the Ctrl key and select each of the other objects, then click Group. To ungroup them choose any object in the group, then click Group > Ungroup.

• The Rotate command makes it easy to rotate your image, or flip it vertically or horizontally.

• Size — These are tools for cropping or resizing your image. For details on how to use the Crop tool see Crop a picture. To use the size tools simply specify the height and/or width you desire, in inches.

• The Format Pane opens a pane that gives you easy access to the tools to modify this image.

You can’t insert an SVG image in iOS, but you do have some editing tools available in Office for SVG images that you’ve already got in your files. To get started tap the SVG image you want to edit and you should see the Graphics tab appear on the ribbon.

• Graphics Styles — These are a set of predefined styles you can add to quickly change the look of your SVG file.

• If you want to change the color of your image and none of the styles in the gallery are quite what you want, Graphics Fill lets you choose from hundreds of colors. Whatever color you choose is going to apply to the entire image. 

  Note: If you want to fill individual parts of the SVG image with different colors you’ll need to convert it to a shape first. Currently you’ll need to open your document in Office for Microsoft 365 on Windows to do that.

• To change (or remove) the line around your SVG image choose Graphics Outline. This lets you set the color of the border surrounding your image.

• Wrap Text helps you to control how text will flow around your image in the document.

• If you want to stack multiple objects on top of each other Arrange lets you move the selected image up or down (forward or backwards) in the stack.

• Use the Crop tool if you only want a portion of your SVG image. With the image selected, tap Crop then drag the box to frame the image the way you want it. When you’re done, tap Crop

  Tip: If you want to undo your cropping, tap the image, select Crop again and then tap Reset from the context menu that appears.

• Use the Alt Text tool to give your image a text description for people who are using screen readers to read your document.
