Default putting text on pictures

Wendy,
By enter keys ... she simply means carriage returns (the old term for
'carriage return' ... just hit the "enter" button a couple of time). It
gives you some working room before and after your photo (or image) and
makes
sure it doesn't interfere with other text in your document. I do the same
thing. It just makes life easier if you are doing this type of thing in
"Word".
Hope that helps.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.
You said " firstly have a couple of enter keys before you insert the
picture", I'm not sure what that means...
when you say "Right click on your picture and choose format Picture" do
you
mean in "my pictures"? or do I need to import the picture into something
else
first?

Hi Wendy, there are a couple of tricks for dealing with graphics and
text.
firstly have a couple of enter keys before you insert the picture. then
insert your picture via the Insert Picture menu. Right click on your
picture
and choose format Picture. Change the Layout to 'behind text'. then you
can
create a text box (insert text box), draw a shape for your text box, type
the
text and by positioning the cursor on any of the parametres you can move
the
text all over the photo. To make the text box transparent, right click
on
the box handles and format text box, colour - no fill and lines - none.
If
your text gets lost behind the picture, right click on picture and choose
Order, Send to back. Once your text box is created, you can change the
size
of font, colour etc.

it's hard to research how to do something when you don't know the right
terms...
I want to put text on a photo and have it stay with that photo, I've
also
seen photos on the internet with a name written across it in a kind of
water
mark effect, the text is transparent but looks like it is raised.
A friend told me I can do this in word2003 and then store the photo
back in
"my pictures" to put on the internet and I don't need to buy additional
software. If I can't do it in word can you tell me which digital
software
would do it? I was looking at microsofts digital softwares but they are
not
very specific about what you can do with it with text on the box. I
have
Nikkon but the pictures I add text too are only readable in Nikkon.
