In microsoft word, how can you insert a picture, and type right next to it?

Question

I added in a picture and want to have text next to it, but it keeps putting the words above and below the picture.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Answer 1

You need to adjust the "text wrapping" with regard to the picture.  Depending on which version of Microsoft Word you have, usually, you can right click on the picture, a menu will pop up, and you want to select format picture, another window will pop up and select text wrapping, you want to select either "tight" or "square".

ps. in Word 2007, after inserting the picture, if you click on the picture, at the top select the format tab and you will see the text wrapping button on the menu bar

Answer 2

best way in my opinion to do this is to edit the picture in paint and enter the text right in on the picture with microsoft paint.  

Answer 3

For versions of Word before 2007:

1. Select the picture you inserted into the document.

2.  Go to the Format menu, and select Picture.

3. Click the "Wrapping" tab

4. Set it to "square" or "tight"

5. tada!

For Microsoft Word 2007:

1. Double click the picture

2. In the "Format" tab, click "text wrapping"

3. Choose "Square" Or "Tight"

Answer 4

put it on a table with two column, put the picture whether left or right and the the text on the other one

Answer 5

In word put cursor where you want the picture then click insert, then picture depending where on your computer it is will show you options. Then pick what ever it is and click on it. After it gets there you should be able to edit add captions etc.
