- Insert an image in your document by selecting Insert | Picture | From File.
- Select the image.
- Right-click anywhere on the image and select Picture from the menu that results.
- Click the Crop tab.
- To keep the image size, select Keep Scale.
- Change the values in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom boxes to crop your image as you want it to appear.
- The black box in the preview window will show you where your image is being cropped.
- Click OK to accept the crop.
- To reverse the crop, follow steps 2-5 above and change the values in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom boxes back to 0.
