Question 1
When might linking an image cause a problem?
If the linked image is moved or the document is opened on another computer without the same path, the image may not display. Embedding makes the file more portable.
What to learn
Insert images by using the insert option, drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste or linking. Resize, crop and position images; control arrangement, anchoring, alignment and text wrapping so the document remains readable.
- An embedded image travels with the document; a linked image depends on its external file path.
- Anchoring determines how an image relates to a page, paragraph or character.
- Text wrapping controls how nearby text flows around an object.
- Resize proportionally to avoid distortion.
Practical activity
Create a one-page event notice. Insert a photo, set its anchor, choose a suitable wrap mode, crop it and align it with the text. Save, reopen and verify that the image remains available.
Use your school’s prescribed software version and teacher instructions. Keep personal information out of public practice files.

Question 2
Why preserve an image’s aspect ratio while resizing?
The aspect ratio preserves the image’s original proportions, preventing stretched or compressed subjects.
Question 3
What does anchoring control?
Anchoring determines which page element an image is attached to, so its position responds predictably when the text or layout changes.
Revision checklist
- Can I explain the key terms without memorising a definition alone?
- Can I complete the listed practical task and describe each step?
- Can I apply the idea to a new example and explain why my answer works?
