Thumbs up Answer: Replace an image with another one

Hi Jeff,

No worries, it's not a stupid question at all! Yes, there is a way to replace an existing image in a Word document with a different one without it moving to a different location. Here's how you can do it in Word 2002 on XP:
  1. Click on the image you want to replace to select it.
  2. Press the "Delete" key on your keyboard to remove the existing image.
  3. Click on the "Insert" menu at the top of the screen.
  4. Select "Picture" from the drop-down menu.
  5. Choose the new image you want to insert and click "Insert."
  6. The new image will be inserted in the same location as the old one.

If the new image is a different size than the old one, it may cause the text to move around slightly. To fix this, you can adjust the text wrapping settings for the new image. Here's how:
  1. Click on the new image to select it.
  2. Click on the "Format" menu at the top of the screen.
  3. Select "Picture" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click on the "Layout" tab.
  5. Choose the text wrapping option that works best for your document (e.g. "In line with text," "Square," "Tight," etc.).
  6. Click "OK" to apply the new text wrapping settings.
