How to Make an Image in Word Transparent (+Image)

NESABAMEDIA.COM – What is difficult to express in words can sometimes be easily explained through a picture. For example, describing the beauty of the sea of clouds in the morning at the top of the mountain, it seems that even hundreds of words will not be able to compete with the visual impact presented in the photo of the landscape.

Pictures are generally much easier to remember than words spoken orally or in writing. If an information contains a collection of text that is accompanied by an image, then the information will be remembered for a longer time. In this case the image acts as a trigger for memory.

On the other hand, information will also be easier to remember if you take the time to jot it down. Another way that is even more effective is to make a summary of what you have read, and include an image in the summary.

Included images must of course be relevant to the information recorded. At a later date, the picture will help you to recall the important points in the summary.

To take notes, you can use Microsoft Word because in addition to having complete features for taking notes, the software also allows images to be inserted into documents. Images can be resized and can also be made transparent easily.

That’s how to make an image in Word transparent. If the document you are working on in Microsoft Word will be uploaded or sent to other people via email, you can compress the image first so that the overall document file size will be smaller. The smaller the file size, the shorter the time it takes to upload and download the file.

There are two ways to compress images. The first way is to compress the image before you insert it into the document. There are many free software that you can use to compress multiple images at once such as FastStone Image Viewer, XnConvert, and Caesium Image Compressor.

The second way is to use Microsoft Word itself. The software has a feature to reduce the image file size. You can compress all the images in a document at once. This method is more practical because you can do it directly in Microsoft Word, but the image compression features it provides are very limited.
