What version of Word - that's always important to know

- but this is an
alternative to Doug's suggestion...
If 2007, select the picture then go to the Picture Tools Format tab of the
Ribbon. In the Picture Styles group click the Picture Shape button & pick
what you want. You can then adjust size & proportion as with other shapes.
You can do basically the same in 2003 but the procedure is a bit different.
