How to Write a Report and Insert Pictures

When writing a report with pictures, you will want to structure the report in a way that it has a logical beginning, middle and summary or end point. Images can inject a significant amount of additional information or context to the text portion of report. Most word processing programs, including Microsoft Word, allow you to write the report, insert pictures and wrap the text around the picture.

  Open Microsoft Word and create a new document. Begin adding the text for your report onto the page. When you want to add a picture into the report, click the "Insert" tab located in the navigation bar of the program.
