17.2 Modifying a
graphic
You can position a
graphic on a page by selecting it and moving it. Cropping hides part of the picture
you do not want to see. Resizing will make the graphic bigger or smaller. It
keeps the proportion between width and height. Distorting changes the
appearance and balance of a graphic. Distorting may involve stretching,
tilting, flipping and rotating the picture.
