Microsoft word help req'd

Phyzelda

Hi,

I'm currently trying to put a picture behind text within a text box, however the text wrapping tab is unavailable, is there a way around this?

I managed it earlier, but not sure how I did it.:o

Please help, thanks

I would usually sort this out in Powerpoint first, as I find it's easier to manipulate there, then cut and paste across.

Thanks baby-mechanic, unfortunately it still didn't work

a good starting point would be what version of office/word are you using

But in word 2007 you click > insert tab > select a text box then select > format > text box styles (in the corner is the advanced icon click it, on the first tab select fill effects a dialogue box opens up with a few tabs one of which will be a picture tab select your picture then click > ok back to the first dialogue box (format text box) you can set the transparency.

Sorry if my instructions are a bit difficult to follow but hope that helps

ohyeahitssorcy, thanks for that, unfortunately I was hoping just to include a little picture not fill the background, sorry I'm confusing myself trying to sort this out
Can't understand how I did it earlier, thinks its going to bug me for ages now

So you want the picture behind and the text on the pic.

Or do you want to wrap the picture around the text.

ok sussed it ......

follow instructions here ... http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1773/microsoft_word_how_to_wrap_text_around_a_picture/

but instead of inserting a picture in those instructions insert a text box in format select position with text wrapping then follow my instructions above for inserting the picture
