Default How do I add writing on top of a picture in word?

Right-click on the edge of the Text Box and select Properties. You can
change it to In Front of Text and other parameters in this dialog.

Pictures can be inserted In Line, as thought the picture is an object with
normal paragraph type properties where the text precedes and follows it.
Again, you can right-click on the picture and select Properties and change
many parameters including it acting as a floating object with text wrapping
around it.

Experiment and enjoy!

Thanks for answering.

I'm afraid this info is above my knowledge.
I don't know what "In Line with Text" is.

The first thing I did was add photo to document. Then I tried using a text
box. But then couldn't find a way to put this on top of the photo picture.

Assuming the picture is In Line With Text, insert a text box (with No
Line
and No Fill) and format it as In Front of Text. Type your text there.
