Insert a Picture

You can insert graphics in the document, and convert it to inline or floating.

The Rich Text Editor supports the following graphic types:

  • Bitmap (*.bmp, *.dib)
  • JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg, *.jpeg)
  • Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
  • Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif)
  • Tagged Image Format (*.tif, *.tiff)
  • Microsoft Enhanced Metafile (*.emf)
  • Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (*.svg)
Note

SVG images are preserved as vector graphics when you export documents to Open XML formats (DOCX, DOTX, DOTM, DOCM). When exporting to non-Open XML formats, SVG images are rasterized.

To insert a picture into your document, position the caret at the location, and click the Picture button in the Illustrations group of the Insert tab.
