Download the free graphics editor IrfanView and install it (just search
Google for IrfanView: it is probably the best and smallest graphics editor
you can get for free).

Open the graphic in IrfanView and use the cursor to select about half the
graphic splitting it at a convenient point where it doesn't cut anything
important. Note that when you have made the selection, if you move the
cursor over the boundary, you can drag the edge in order to make very
accurate selections. From the Edit menu, use the CROP command. Use SaveAs
and name it GraphicXtop. Then reopen the original again and this time select
the remainder of the graphic, select CROP and use Save as to can is
GraphicXlower.

IrfanView lets you choose what format you save in (in other words, it is
also a graphics converter). I recommend you use the jpeg format for this.

You now have the oversized graphic split into two so that in Word you can
use Insert, Picture and place them on different pages. In Word you can use
the drag handles to make the pictures bigger now if it improves clarity.

I copied a map legend from the web and pasted it onto my Word document, but
it's too long for just one page. How can I make it go across two pages or
more, instead of only one, while keep the info intact? I did already try
"resizing" and formatting by rightclicking and all that, but it just makes
the text within the box too small to read or too blurry. Also, please
could
you reply as if instructing a 2nd or 3rd grader as I'm new to using the
computer and it's programs and a newbie to terms etc. Thanks in advance
for
your assistance. JP
