I have a layered picture and want to put it on a background, sounds simple if
you know what to do.

Hi Den,

Are you talking about creating a drawing/graphic in Word
where you've 'stacked' parts of the drawing? If so you
can create an autoshape that is the size you want to be
for the background of your picture then use the fill icon
on the Drawing toolbar to put text, a texture, a picture or
a color/gradient background then right click on the shape
and choose Order->send to back.

Select all of the parts of your graphic by 'lassoing' it
(use the 'Select object' (Arrow) icon on the Drawing toolbar
and with the tip draw a square around the graphics (hold down
the left mouse button while drawing)

You can then use Draw=>Align on the drawing toolbar to
stack the elements then Draw=>Group to make a single item
out of it.
