Microsoft Word gives us a wide group of options to work with the elements that we can use there, this implies not only text but images, tables, forms, audio, etc., and each presentation can have a different focus based on the type of recipient and theme worked. One of the options that we can use the most is the function of grouping elements, that is, we can unite text, shapes and images in a single object so that when it moves, everything moves together and not each piece separately, it is a simple process that TechnoWikis will teach you in this tutorial..
There are various tasks that we can perform within our Word documents, such as leaving an image fixed in Word so that it does not move while we edit the document. Once we have photo and text files, what we can do is group photos and videos in Word and thus be able to move them together when we edit. We will see how to do it in today's tutorial.
