# How to layout images in Word a little bit better

In word putting images is a nuance, so I did this tutorial to teach a bit about it.

In word, when you press `ENTER` you're creating a new paragraph.

When you paste an image in word (from your phone, from the screencapture, etc) is set by default as an `inline`

So if you write "I'm creating an ommelette" and you paste the first image that you find without copyright you can find you will get something like this:


## How to do it with spaces

What I usually do if I can just go with the structure the text with

paragraph
+
image
+
paragraph

I'll opt for this option. The idea is to give space to the images to fit.

So first I write the text and I leave a paragraph for the image


Then I paste the image in the blank paragraph


## How to do it with text boxes

If I need to do something a little bit more fancier when I have a image in on side and/or with saying "figure 2" I'd use text boxes.

Let's suposse that I already have my text in place (I used [cat ipsum](http://www.catipsum.com/index.php))


To do that we need to go to "Insert" tab


And select Text box


Then go to the simplest one


It will create something in the middle of your kitty text like this


Put it in their place by dragging it


### Make it without the border

If we don't want the border we can take out in these options


And it will look like this


### Paste the image

Now inside the text box we paste the image that we want and then we can write figure 1 or whatever we need


Enjoy!
