You may have several pictures in your Word document. When editing the document, the pictures move independently. If you would like them to move together, you must group them.
2 ways of grouping pictures in your Word document:
- Using Picture Tools
- Using Right-Click
We will explain both methods using simple step-by-step instructions.
