For some situations, this is not practical because it is faster to insert and change simple formulas in the Word document (see How to reference a cell of a Word table): To add a formula into the Word table (see How to calculate formulas in a Word document if you need to use formulas without tables), do the following. It's easy enough to drag them from there to the proper cells, though. In Word 2000, it was easy to add up a column of numbers in a table. If you drag and drop multiple pictures in one motion, they'll all go into one cell - you can't avoid that without writing a macro. On the Row tab of the dialog, set the maximum height you want and change the dropdown from At Least to Word Encoding function and results Shown on Fig. If you also want to constrain the height of the picture, select the whole table, right-click, and click Table Properties. (a) 1119 NumWords (b) Numerical indices (c) Index sequences Figure 5. If the picture is smaller, though, it won't be scaled up (which is good because enlargement would cause "jaggies" or pixelation). If the picture is larger than the cell, it will be resized (maintaining the aspect ratio) to the width of the cell. With those settings, you can drag a picture from Windows Explorer, or use the Insert > Picture dialog, to insert one picture into one cell. The second is to click in each table, go to the Table Tools > Layout tab, click the AutoFit button, and choose The first is to visit the Options > Advanced dialog, go to the "Cut, copy, and paste" section, and set the "Insert/paste pictures as" dropdown to " In line with text". There are two key settings to make this work - not getting all of your wishes, but most of them. I'm hoping for a way to do this that is non labor intensive. I'm using this to maintain a team scrapbook, adding a bunch of pics after each game. How do I insert multiple pictures into adjacent cells in an across then down order, creating new document pages as needed? (Every time I try to insert multiple pics, it puts them all in the same column.)Ĭould I do this better/easier if I were creating the doc in Excel? How do I insert a pic so that it is automatically resized to fit the existing cell size? (Every time I use the Word pic insert fcn or I drag and drop a pic to a cell, Word expands the cell size rather than fitting the pic to the existing cell.) To create a Word doc with 4 pics to a page, placing the pics one to a cell (across then down) in the order they appear in the directory. I also have a directory containing 40 or so 7MB cell phone pictures.
I have created a Word doc containing an empty table with a 2 row by 2 column of equal size cell table fit to the full page (ie, the page is divided into 4 equal size cells). Is there any reasonably efficient way to insert and auto size multiple pictures to a table, each into its own cell?
