Grouping images in Word: These are the requirements

Grouping images in Word is useful to help you format them. If all the images belong to a certain group, changes to the formatting are automatically applied to all the images in the group and no longer need to be adjusted individually. Before you group your images, however, it is necessary that you prepare them. It is especially important that you change the wrap format of the images from "With text in line", to another format. To do this, please navigate to "Format" or "Layout" and select the option "Text wrap" under "Arrange".
