Tip #4340 - Time to Reset

Time
to Reset
We've all done
it.
At one point or
another, we've all inserted a picture into a document, worksheet or
presentation and started altering its appearance.
Let's make it
larger. No, smaller. No, wait, we'll stretch it only vertically. And
let's lighten the colors and crop it a bit over here.
Next thing you
know, you've got a mess and you're looking at the Undo button, thinking,
"How far back do I have to go to fix this one?"
Or, maybe you
figured it would be faster to delete the destroyed picture and reinsert
the original.
Both of those
ideas work, but there's an even faster and easier one button solution
to your problem. Interested in the "how to?"
Yeah, I thought
you might be!
If you're using
Office 2007, you're looking for the Picture Tools,
Format ribbon that is displayed when you have the
picture or clipart selected.
On the far left
side, you'll find the Adjust section where the Reset
Picture button resides.
Click
it and you're back to where you began.
If you're using
an older version of MS Office, you should find that when you have
a picture selected, the Picture toolbar will open
and it will look like this:
If it doesn't,
don't panic!
Try a right
click on the picture and choose Show Picture Toolbar
from the menu or use the View menu, Toolbars
submenu, Picture choice.
At any rate, once
the toolbar is open, you're only one button away from resetting the
picture to its original state.
The button you're
looking for is on the far right end and it's called the Reset
Picture button.
Click
it and poof. Your picture is restored, with no undo or reinsertion
required!
