Default how do i add text to an imported image



"oceanside" wrote in message

I imported an image to word doc. I want to add text to it. The image is
a
blank scroll & I want to put words on it. Text box doesn't seem to be
available.



Right click on the line of the text box after you create it (turn on the
drawing toolbar if needed.) This will give you your Format Text Box menu.
I normally use the Advanced button on the Layout tab and select Through and
then also set the fill and line to No fill and No line, on the Colors and
Lines tab to enable the image to show through.

If you don't set the fill and line to No you won't be able to see the full
image behind.

You may also need to set the image the same way (Through on the Advanced
Layout tab.)
