dragging picture into text box

Hello,

I am trying to do a simple thing.

I have created text boxes in a word doc (2013). All I want to do is drag and drop pictures into the text box and have the picture resize to fir the text box. Simple Right??? Nope every time the text box changes shape to fit the picture. I want the picture to change shape to fit the text box. I have to do this hundreds of time and just want to eaily drag and drop pictures into the text boxes?

Any Help

Thanks

You can't do what you ask with just text boxes.

You can do it with a table. If you click Table Tools > Layout > AutoFit and choose Fixed Column Width, then a picture that's wider than the table cell will be resized to fit the cell's width. If you also want to constrain the picture's maximum height, click Table Tools > Layout > Properties > Row and set the row height, changing "At Least" to "Exactly".

Note that pictures that are smaller than the cell width (or height) will not be resized larger to fit the cell.
