Insert image in word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

This article is for people with visual or cognitive impairments who use a screen reader program such as Microsoft’s Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with the Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Microsoft 365 screen reader support content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support home or Fixes or workarounds for recent office issues.

Use Word with your keyboard and a screen reader to insert a picture or image from your computer or an online source. We’ve tested it with Narrator, JAWS, and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. You’ll also learn how to add alt texts to the pictures to make them more accessible.

Need instructions on how to insert pictures to a Word document, but not using a screen reader? See Insert pictures.

Notes:

New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
To learn more about screen readers, go to How screen readers work with Microsoft 365.

Tips

Whether you’re working on a hefty research project or a friendly holiday greeting card, adding images to your Word document can really add value to your project. Whether you want to insert a picture from your computer or find one online, it’s easy to add photos in Word. This wikiHow teaches you how to insert an image into a Microsoft Word document using Windows, a Mac, and the free web version of Word.

Things You Should Know

Use the Insert tab on Windows, Mac, and the web app to add a picture.
Select Pictures > This Device to use an image on your computer.
Click the image to resize and reformat it.

1
Click the place in your document where you want to insert the picture. Word’s insertion cursor, a vertical blinking bar, will appear at this point. When you insert the image, its bottom-left corner will be at this point.
- This method works for all modern versions of Word beginning with Word 2016. You can also use it as a guide for earlier versions of Windows, although there will be fewer tools and features.
- Changing the background is done through a different method, using the Design tab.
2

Click the Insert tab. It’s near the top of Word between «Home» and «Draw» (or «Home» and «Design» in some versions).

3

Click the Pictures tool. It’s in the «Illustrations» section of the toolbar running along the top of Word. Some location options will appear. If you’re using Word 2019 or later, a menu will expand. If you’re using Word 2016 or earlier, your file browser will appear.
4
Select the type of image you want to insert. You can choose an image on your computer, a stock image from Microsoft, or an image from the internet.
- Word 2019 or later:
  - Click This Device if the picture is on your computer.
  - Click Stock Images to select a free stock image from Microsoft’s collection.
  - Click Online Pictures to use Bing’s image search to find photos on the web.
  - If the photo is on your OneDrive, select Online Pictures and click OneDrive at the bottom-left corner.
- Word 2016:
  - If the picture is on your computer, simply navigate to it in the file browser.
  - If you want to search for a photo online or insert one from Facebook, Flickr, or your OneDrive, close the file browser and click the Online Pictures icon next to the «Pictures» in the toolbar. You can then select an image from Bing image search, Flickr, or Facebook.
  - If the picture is on your OneDrive, click Online Pictures instead of Pictures and click Browse next to «OneDrive.»
5
Select the image you want to insert. When you find the picture, click it once to select it.

Довольно часто работа с документами в MS Word не ограничивается одним только текстом. Так, если вы печатаете реферат, методичку, брошюру, какой-нибудь отчет, курсовую, научную или дипломную работу, вам вполне может понадобиться вставить в то или иное место изображение.

Урок: Как сделать буклет в Ворде

Вставить рисунок или фото в документ Word можно двумя способами — простым (не самым правильным) и чуточку посложнее, зато правильным и более удобным для работы. Первый метод заключается в банальном копирование/вставке или перетаскивание графического файла в документ, второй — в использование встроенных инструментов программы от Microsoft. В этой статье мы расскажем о том, как правильно в Ворде вставить картинку или фотографию в текст.

Урок: Как сделать диаграмму в Word

1. Откройте текстовый документ, в который требуется добавить изображение и кликните в том месте страницы, где оно должно находиться.

2. Перейдите ко вкладке “Вставка” и нажмите на кнопку “Рисунки”, которая расположена в группе “Иллюстрации”.

3. Откроется окно проводника Windows и стандартная папка “Изображения”. откройте с помощью этого окна папку, в которой содержится необходимый графический файл, и кликните по нему.

4. Выбрав файл (картинку или фото), нажмите кнопку “Вставить”.

5. Файл будет добавлен в документ, после чего сразу откроется вкладка “Формат”, содержащая в себе инструменты для работы с изображениями.

Основные инструменты для работы с графическими файлами

Удаление фона: если это необходимо, вы можете удалить фон картинки, точнее, убрать нежелательные элементы.

Коррекция, изменение цвета, художественные эффекты: с помощью этих инструментов вы можете изменить цветовую гамму изображения. В число параметров, которые можно изменить, входят яркость, контраст, насыщенность, оттенок, другие варианты цвета и многое другое.

Стили рисунков: используя инструменты “Экспресс-стили”, вы можете изменить внешний вид добавленного в документ изображения, в том числе и форму отображения графического объекта.

Положение: данный инструмент позволяет изменить положение изображения на странице, “вклинив” его в текстовое содержимое.

Обтекание текстом: этот инструмент позволяет не только грамотно расположить картинку на листе, но и вписать ее непосредственно в текст.

Размер: это группа инструментов, в которой вы можете обрезать изображение, а также задать точные параметры для поля, внутри которого находится картинка или фото.

Примечание: Область, внутри которой находится изображение, всегда имеет прямоугольную форму, даже если сам объект имеет другую форму.

Изменение размера: если вы хотите задать точный размер для картинки или фото, используйте инструмент “Размер”. Если же ваша задача — растянуть картинку произвольно, просто возьмите за один из кружков, обрамляющих изображение, и потяните за него.

Перемещение: для того, чтобы переместить добавленное изображение, кликните по нему левой кнопкой мышки и перетяните в необходимое место документа. Для копирования/вырезки/вставки используйте горячие комбинации клавиш — Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X/Ctrl+V, соответственно.

Поворот: чтобы повернуть изображение, кликните по стрелке, расположенной в верхней части области, в которой находится графический файл, и поверните его в необходимом направлении.

Совет: Чтобы выйти из режима работы с изображением, просто кликните левой кнопкой мышки за пределами обрамляющей его области.

Собственно, на этом все, теперь вы знаете, как в Ворде вставить фото или картинку, а также знаете о том, как ее можно изменить. И все же, стоит понимать, что данная программа является не графическим, а текстовым редактором. Желаем вам успехов в ее дальнейшем освоении.

Some documents have digital photographs and images created and saved in other programs that make documents entertaining or convey information better than words. These types of images are referred to as pictures.

Insert an image

To insert a picture in a Word document, on the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click the Pictures button, then choose the option you prefer:

Pictures in Word 365

Select This Device to choose an image stored on the local computer, laptop, shared locations, or network server:

Select an image in the Insert Picture dialog box and click the Insert button.
Select Stock Images to choose Stock Images, Icons, Cutout People, Stickers, and Illustrations from the stock image library:

Select one or several objects (see the number near the Insert label) and click the Insert button.
Select Online Pictures to find and insert images from Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, or OneDrive:

Select one or a few objects (see the number near the Insert label) and click the Insert button.

Note: Another option is to insert the image as a linked object that creates a link between the document and the external image but does not embed the image in the Word document. Using linked objects can help minimize the file size of the final document while preserving images, photographs, and other objects that can take up storage space. However, if image files are not available when you open a Word document, the images are not displayed. This option is not recommended to create documents distributed to other users, as they may not access the images.

When you click on a picture, Word shows the Picture Format tab:

Using features from that tab, you can:

Adjust picture characteristics:
- Remove the background by designating either the areas you want to keep or those you want to remove
- Sharpen, soften, and adjust the brightness of images for better printing or on-screen presentation
- Apply different color masks to achieve antiquing, sepia tone, grayscale, and a variety of other color effects
- Choose one of 23 special effects, such as pencil sketch, blurring, charcoal sketch, paint strokes, and others
- Apply effects such as shadows, reflections, and borders; or apply combinations of these effects
- Choose a picture transparency
- Compress the pictures in the document
Format picture by using predefined picture styles or choosing some of the proposed features such as shape and orientation, borders, and other effects
Arrange the picture to specify its relationship to the page and other elements on the page
Crop the parts of the picture or crop the picture to a shape
Resize, scale, and rotate the picture by using its sizing handles or appropriate fields in the Layout dialog box (see below)
Position the object in any of several predefined locations on the page
Specify how other text should wrap around the object.

See Hiding pictures for more details.

Copy the formatting

To copy the formatting of one picture to another picture, do the following:

1. Select the formatted picture, which formatting you need to copy.

2. On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the Format Painter button:

3. Click another picture to apply the color adjustments, color corrections, or picture style from the first picture.

Add an Alternative text for images

The Alternative text (Alt text) for pictures is a common requirement. By default, Word generates Alt text for all inserted pictures (see how to turn off that feature).

Alt text is:

Read aloud when a screen reader will encounter such an image.
Shown if there are some problems with displaying an image.

You can see the generated Alt text at the bottom of the object immediately after inserting it in a document:

To change or add Alt text to a picture, do the following:

1. Select the picture.

2. Open the Alt text pane by doing one of the following:

On the Picture Format tab, in the Accessibility group, click the Alt Text button:

Alt text should briefly describe the purpose or content of the image, photo, icon, table, or equation. It is recommended to use no more than 15 words.
Select the Mark as decorative check box if the picture is purely decorative and does not provide helpful information for the document content.

Note: If the option for automatic generation of Alt text for pictures is turned on (see how to turn on and turn off that feature), after modifying a generated Alt text, you can regenerate it by clicking the Generate a description for me:
