342 Chapter 11 Change Workbook Appearance

In this exercise, you’ll add an image to an existing worksheet, change its location on

the worksheet, reduce the size of the image, and then set another image as a repeating

background for the worksheet.

SET UP You need the CallCenter_start workbook and the Phone and Texture images

located in your Chapter11 practice file folder to complete this exercise. Open the

CallCenter_start workbook, and save it as CallCenter. Then follow the steps.

1. On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture.

The Insert Picture dialog box opens.

2. Navigate to the Chapter11 practice file folder, and then double-click the Phone
   image file.
   The image appears on your worksheet.


3. On the Format contextual tab, in the Adjust group, click Remove Background.

Excel attempts to separate the image’s foreground from its background.

4. Drag the handles at the upper-left and bottom-right corners of the outline until
   the entire phone, including the cord, is within the frame.

You resize an image on a worksheet by using the same techniques you do in a document.

5. On the Background Removal tab, click Keep Changes.

Excel removes the highlighted image elements.
