Can you import a picture

[Graphix grl]

If you can import a picture into Publisher, what kind of file are the
pictures. Can I save a file as a .jpg and then place it into publisher. Can
you put text over a picture? Can I create a file in photoshop, save it as a
..jpg and place it in Publisher? I am in a rut trying to figure this program
out. I was told that a designer was taking InDesign files and saving them in
Publisher so that the recipient could go into the document and add a logo if
they wanted one or their name etc. I have never used Publisher like this so
I am trying to see if there is anyway to do this. Thanks again,

You can insert almost any image into Publisher if you save it as a common extension.
Have you tried "paste special" when you copy?
You can put text over a picture, bring the text to the front.

I think what she wants to be able to do tho is to still be able to edit the
layout after she turns it into a .jpg and imports it into Publisher.
