When putting a graphic in a document, the box is sometimes way larger than
the graphic.  How do I edit graphic box to make it fit the graphic?

If you're talking about a text box, you don't need one for a graphic, which
can have all the same wrapping options. But I suspect you're referring to
the "Drawing canvas." You can disable this on the General tab of Tools |
Options.

I'm not sure what that does, but I don't think that will help.  I paste a lot
of pictures from web pages into documents to help me remember.  It is these
pasted pictures that I was refering to.  If I could, I'd send you one so you
could see.  However, I really do appreciate your effort!  It is so nice to
actually get answers to questions.  My usuall word processing program is
WordPerfect.  You can't find answers to questions for that software to save
your soul!  Thanks again.

Although it is really easy to paste a graphic from a Web page, the
recommended procedure is to right-click on the graphic and use Save Picture
As. Save it to My Pictures or some other easily found location, then use
Insert | Picture | From File to put it in your document. I think you'll find
that this procedure will help.

In recent versions of Word, you'll find that pictures are inserted/pasted as
In Line With Text by default. If you want to be able to move them freely,
and have text wrap around them, you need to change the wrapping to some
other style. When you click on the picture, the Picture toolbar will be
displayed. Click on the Text Wrapping button (dog icon) to get a menu of
wrapping options.

Sounds like a good idea.  I'll try that next time.
