Click the Color command. A drop-down menu will appear.
From the drop-down menu, you can choose a preset from each of the three categories:4
Color Saturation: Controls how vivid the colors are in the image.
Color Tone: Controls the "temperature" of the color, from cool to warm.
Recolor: Controls the overall color of the image. Use this option to make the image black and white, grayscale, or to colorize it with a different color.
You can also select Picture Color Options from the drop-down menu to refine the settings.
Click the Compress Pictures command in the Adjust group. A dialog box appears.
Place a checkmark next to Delete cropped areas of pictures. You can also choose whether to apply the settings to this picture only or to all pictures in the document.
Choose a Target output. If you are emailing your document, you may want to select Email, which produces the smallest file size.
[h=3]Removing the Background From an Image
[h=4]About Background Removal
With Background Removal, Word uses special algorithms to determine which parts of the image are the
background and then removes those areas from the image. This can give your images a cleaner
appearance, and if you're printing your document, it can also save ink.
Word will try to guess which part of the image is the background, and it will mark that area with a magenta fill. It will also place a box around the image with selection handles.
Drag the selection handles until all of the foreground is inside the box. After you do this, Word may re-adjust the background.
At this point, you may need to help Word decide which parts of the image are foreground and which parts are background. You can do this by using the Mark Areas to Keep and Mark Areas to Remove commands:
If Word has marked part of the foreground magenta, click Mark Areas to Keep and draw a line in that region of the image.
If part of the background has not been marked with magenta, click Mark Areas to Remove and draw a line in that region of the image.
After you add your marks, Word will readjust the image.
When you're satisfied with the image, click Keep Changes. All of the magenta areas will be removed from the image.
You can adjust the image at any time by clicking the Remove Background command again.
In the Style group on the Home tab, hover over each style to see a live preview in the document. Click the More drop-down arrow to see additional styles.
Select the style you desire. Now the selected text appears formatted in the style.
[h=4]What is a Theme?
A theme is a set of colors, fonts and effects that applies to the entire document to give it a consistent, professional look.
You've already been using a theme, even if you didn't know it: the default Office theme. Every theme, including the Office theme, has its own theme elements:
Theme Colors (available from every Color menu)
Theme Fonts (available from the Font menu)
Shape Styles (available in the Format tab when you click on a shape)
