                 Cropping an Image

                 Cropping an image involves removing unwanted portions of the image to focus on a specific area or to improve its
                 composition. It is equivalent to using a scissor to cut the unwanted part. To crop an image, perform the following
                 steps:
                 Step 1:  Select the image in the Writer document.
                 Step 2:  Click on the Crop Image tool from the Image toolbar.
                         Notice that, the eight little squares surrounding the image will be transformed into blue handles.

                 Step 3:   Click and drag the handles on the image to adjust the crop region as desired. You can crop from any side or
                         corner, as shown in below figure:
