No! You need a third party graphics application to do this. SnagIt is the
obvious choice. There is a demo.

additional question...I was trying the microsoft Digital
Imagine...and found I can't save pictures as a JPEG...so I can't put
them up on yahoopictures and so....I can't put them up on my
website......which was the entire purpose in wanting to put the text
onto the picture...so it would stay with the picture when I move it
around on the website and I wouldn't have to keep retyping it
.......if I add text to the picture in Word will I be able to save it
as a JPEG?
Thanks! W

The "text box" tab was grey and inactive, couldn't figure out what
to do... I inserted a picture and found the layout just
fine........thanks...now what do I do?
I tried the page text box, but of course it isn't "fixed" to the
picture....

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

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.
