I am aware it cannot be screen filling on every device and keep the pic ratio at the same time)

I know a little about HTML, but def. not up to the point where it had to be for this. It wouldnt be only HTML but also I would have to know how each device treats certain things, wouldnt I?

So if coding is not an option, the next best is Word?

THX!
Your new goals are very much hittable for someone that knows a little HTML. Inserting an image and tweaking its size and margins without distortion are among the first things folks learn, so even if you're rusty, you probably know enough to at least start tinkering. One of those things where it takes more energy to avoid code than to just use it.

But forget about maximizing to top and bottom. You cannot target the height of the device, at least not without toasting compatibility by using SVG. For portrait images you will just want to set some sensible width and roll with it.
