Inserting Pictures into a Text Processing Document

Inserting pictures to MS Word

After exporting a figure from GeoGebra as .png file, you can now paste it into a word processing document (e.g. MS Word).
  • Open a new text processing document.
  • From the Insert menu select Picture. Choose the .png file you want insert at the position of the cursor.
Reducing the size of pictures If necessary you can reduce the size of the picture in MS Word:
  • Double-click the inserted picture.
  • Change the height/width of the picture using the Size group on the right.
Note: If you change the size of a picture, the scale is modified. If you want to maintain the scale (e.g. for your students to measure lengths) make sure the size of the picture is 100%. Note: If a picture is too big to fit on one page, MS Word will reduce its size automatically and thus, change its scale.
