TO ASK A QUESTION: If you have a question or need help with Office, please feel free to use the 'Click to Contact' link at the bottom of this page. You'll get a form that you can use to email a question to me. (I had been getting a ton of spam when accepting direct emails, so only emails that use this form will get through to me.)
Please be sure to mention the version of Office you are using when you send your question.
I answer all e-mails that I receive via this form, as long as they are polite :)
Since disabling comments on this site, I'm actually hearing from more of you with questions ... so, as it seems people prefer to email rather than comment, I'm going to leave comments disabled. As always, you can ask me any Office-related questions you have. If the question is outside of my expertise, I'll try to direct you to where you can get an answer.
Negative crop to create space around pictures (Office)
Depending on the application in which you've inserted a picture, you might have several ways to add space around the image (such as paragraph spacing or table cells in Word). However, in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, one option is to add negative cropping values.
Do this in one of two ways. First:
1. Select the picture and then click the crop tool on the Picture toolbar.
2. When the crop marks appear on your picture, click on any crop mark and drag out from the image to add negative space around the picture.
Or, to add an equal amount of space on more than one side (or a precise amount of space on any side):
1. Select the picture and then go to the Picture tab of the Format Picture Dialog box (select Picture from the Format menu).
2. Enter the desired negative values to crop from Left, Right, Top, or Bottom, and then click OK.
