Choose between having your photo “In Line with Text,” having text surround it in a Square shape, having text wrap Tight or Through the picture (for non-square pictures), having text wrap only at the “Top and Bottom,” or having the picture totally “Behind Text” or “In Front of Text.”
You can also adjust the position of your image in relation to other objects and text. To explore related options, tap Arrange in the Picture menu.
You have six options here: “Bring Forward” and “Send Backward” move the picture one step forward or backward with relation to other items, respectively, while “Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” send it entirely to the front or back. “Bring in Front of Text” and “Send Behind Text” specify where the image should be placed in relation to the document text.

Now you must move the black border of the image, indicating the crop region.
To crop the image to its new size, tap Crop once more.
You can restore your image if you make undesired changes. To see the available options, tap Reset on the Picture menu.
“Reset Picture” removes all adjustments and returns the initially entered image, whereas “Reset Size” only undoes cropping and resizing, restoring the image to its original size but maintaining any stylistic changes.
