Embed ink drawings on photos to insert into another file

[LaCornista]

I'm drawing arrows onto photos to describe the movement in the photos. I need
to copy the completed photos (including the ink drawings) into a file in
another program that doesn't have a drawing feature. When I try to copy/paste
the graphic from Word, the arrows disappear. Dragging the photo to a new
location on the same page moves the photo but leaves the line drawings where
they were. I tried PDF'ing with Acrobat, but the arrows did not get included
with the photos in the PDF file. I tried PDF'ing through Word, and the arrows
were then present in that PDF, but when I tried to copy/paste, again, only
the photo moved, not the arrows that I had drawn and successfully PDF'ed.

It seems that anything drawn onto a photo is on another layer, even after
PDF'ing the file? Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do n Word or
do I need to quickly learn something like Photoshop? I've spent hours
experimentng and failing.

Thanks for any help.
