How to Use the Remove Background Feature in Word
After you insert an image into Microsoft Word, which you can do from the Insert > Pictures menu (or Insert > Picture in Word 2010), open the formatting menu to delete the background image.
How the Remove Background Tool Works in Word
When you erase an image background in Word, you can delete objects or people in a photo, or remove solid colors that don’t work well with the other colors in the document. Removing the fill increases flexibility and creativity when designing documents, can make certain objects pop out of an image, and expands text-wrapping options. Much like a regular image editing application, you choose which parts of the image to delete and which parts to keep. The initial background removal process usually doesn’t catch exactly what you want to delete or keep, so use the additional keep and remove tools to customize the picture.
