Tips

• If you are not satisfied with the size and number of fragments in your document, try resizing the original image. Microsoft Word automatically distributes slices in a document based on the original image size. The image can be resized using Microsoft Paint or other free online tools such as PicMonkey Photo Editor or PicResize.
