2. You can see the image you selected.
3. Click Edit at the top of the screen. Then click Select All.
4. Once you click Select All, blue dots or "marching ants" will appear around the image.
5. Click Edit at the top of the screen. Then click Cut.
   If you see a popup that states "Convert this document to PNG," click Convert.
6. Adjust the size of the image so that it meets the required dimension (700 by 400 pixels): Click Tools and then Adjust Size.
7. Select Custom in the Fit into drop-down list.
