Introduction to Adjusting Picture Width in WPS
Adjusting the width of pictures in WPS (Writer, Presentation, and Spreadsheet) is a common task that can enhance the visual appeal of your documents. Whether you're working on a presentation, a report, or a newsletter, uniform picture widths can make your content look more professional and organized. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to adjust the width of pictures uniformly in WPS.
Opening Your Document in WPS
Before you can adjust the width of pictures, you need to have a document open in WPS. Whether it's a presentation, a spreadsheet, or a text document, the process is generally the same. Open WPS and load the document where you want to adjust the picture widths.
Selecting the Picture
Once your document is open, locate the picture you want to adjust. Click on the picture to select it. When the picture is selected, you will see a set of handles (small squares) around the edges of the picture. These handles are used to resize the picture.
Using the Picture Tools
After selecting the picture, a contextual menu called Picture Tools will appear. This menu provides various options for formatting and adjusting the picture. Click on Picture Tools to access these options.
Resizing the Picture
Within the Picture Tools menu, you will find the Size group. Here, you can adjust the width of the picture. To resize the picture uniformly, follow these steps:
1. Click on the Size button within the Picture Tools menu.
2. In the Size dialog box, you will see fields for Width and Height.\
3. Enter the desired width in the Width field. You can also use the slider to adjust the width visually.
4. Ensure that the Lock Aspect Ratio checkbox is checked to maintain the original aspect ratio of the picture.
5. Click OK to apply the changes.
Uniformly Adjusting Multiple Pictures
If you have multiple pictures that you want to adjust to the same width, you can do so more efficiently by following these steps:
1. Select all the pictures you want to adjust by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking each picture.
2. Right-click on any of the selected pictures and choose Format Picture from the contextual menu.
3. In the Format Picture dialog box, go to the Size tab.
4. Enter the desired width in the Width field and ensure Lock Aspect Ratio is checked.
5. Click Apply to apply the changes to all selected pictures.
Using the Format Painter
If you have already adjusted one picture to the desired width and want to apply the same width to other pictures, you can use the Format Painter. Here's how to do it:
1. Select the picture that has the desired width.
2. Click on the Format Painter button in the Picture Tools menu.
3. Click on each of the other pictures you want to adjust to the same width.
4. The pictures will now have the same width as the original picture.
