Hi everyone,
I have a label template I am using in Word to print out some labels.
I want to add an image to it, but I want the image to fit into the entire template so it fills the whole label. How can I do this?
When I paste the image in it's not filling the 'cell' (label) up. See attachment.

Re: Label template - getting image to fit
1) Click anywhere in the table.
On the Layout tab of the ribbon (under Table Tools), in the Table group, click Properties.
Click the Options... button.
Set all Default text margins to 0:
Then OK your way out.
2) On the Home tab of the ribbon, click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group.
Set the Left and Right indentation to 0, as well as the Spacing Before and After:
You should now be able to make the image fill the entire cell (label).

Hi Hans, I've followed the instructions and it made it slightly larger, but doesn't quite fill the entire label (see attachment). Is there something else I can do to expand it out so it fits nicely?

Is the rounded rectangle a shape? If so, you'll have to manipulate the relative position of the table and the shape. I'd have to see the template to provide more detailed instructions.
Best wishes,
Hans

Re: Label template - getting image to fit
It appears to me that table cell is set to provide the white space around it and the definition of the label.
You need to re set the table cell to the same as the label size.
EDIT: NOTE
You may need to also redefine the spacing between cells to be the same as the label.
Also, save a copy of this template as a new template and make your changes in it.
