Word 2002: Photo Stuck in Background Behind Text

M

Mama Peach

I am mocking up a brochure. I used the picture toolbar to import a photo for
the cover, and text wrapping to put it in the background behind the title and
subtitle. Now the wrapping tools are grayed out and I can't seem to "grab"
the photo to size it to fit better in my available space. So I thought I'd
size it outside and then drop it in but I can't seem to move the old photo to
the foreground to grab it and get rid of it. Read all the help stuff, tried
it again and doubled my mistake--now two pix in the background. :-Z I saw a
similar question RE Word 2007 but I don't think I have the operative tool
(big white arrow on left) in my version of Word. I have four more brochures
to go for this project and others for future projects so your help would be
greatly appreciated and a good future investment. My best.

On the drawing toolbar, click on the Select Tool (the arrow) -- if you can
click directly on the image..... click on the outer edges of your page and
"draw" a HUGE box that will completely encompass your image.

That should select it - -then you can right click to modify the text
wrapping.

PERFECT! That's why I didn't have the arrow--I no longer had a drawing tool
bar. Thank yu for your patience. I now have a properly size pic in the
background under my title. Thank you for your unpaid and probably unsung
service. My best.
