text over a picture -Creating a Website

[Craig Perkins]

I am trying to create a website and type text over a
picture I am using as a background. The text will
evenually have a hyperlink associated with it. My
problem is I can not seem to type or move text over a
picture. Any suggestions? I can do it in MS Publisher,
but not Word.

Hi, Craig,

Does the picture behave like a single character? That is, if you type to the
left of the picture, does that push the picture to the right?

If so, the picture is "in-line" and needs to be converted to "floating".
Click once on the picture, so the Picture toolbar appears. Click the Text
Wrapping button on the toolbar and select Behind Text. Now you can type over
the picture, and drag the picture to whatever position you need.
