How do I place text on top of a picture?

J

Jay Freedman

Either of two ways:

- If the picture has "inline" text wrapping, put the text in a textbox
or a frame (the Frame button is on the Forms toolbar), set the fill
color of the box to No Fill, and position it over the picture.

- You can put the text in the regular text layer, and send the picture
"Behind text". That way is harder to get things positioned if the text
needs to be over a particular place in the picture.
