First off, try right-clicking on the pictures. From the menu that you will be
getting, there will be several options that you will be wanting to use. The
main ones will probably be:
1) Wrap and
2) Picture
You will want to get into "Wrap" so as to turn it on. "Picture" should give you
access to the other options that you want. The "Crop" option in "Picture" in
particular is relevant.
