When you insert an image in Word 2013 a layout button appears. I’ll insert one more image, this time I want to insert a picture that I have on my computer so I’ll click “INSERT”, “Pictures” and select my image. Here I’ll select the “Crisscross Etching” effect which is quite subtle. The “Film Grain” effect is good if you want to make something look older. The “Blur” effect is great if you want to censor something, like a face or a credit card number. You get a live preview of what different effects look like.

To apply an artistic effect to your picture, mark the image and click “Artistic Effects” in the “PICTURE TOOLS” menu. Now I want to change the image a bit by adding an artistic effect to it.

To mark large chunks of text place the marker at the beginning of the text and then scroll down to the end, hold down Shift on the keyboard and then mark the end of the text. To arrange text into columns, mark the text you want to re-arrange.

Now I want to change the layout of the text into two columns. In this case, I’ll select “Narrow” margins and as you can see the text now fills out more of the page.

You can also define exactly how wide you want the margins to be by clicking “Custom” and entering the exact measurements. Here you can select from a number of pre-defined margin settings.
