Download Irfanview.
That's what's cool about computers...if one thing doesn't work there's always another way.
Irfanview is a photo program.
Those others are more for working with text.
If you don't want to use Irfanview, use a photo program that you may have on your puter. Most will easily allow text to be added.

Here is a link that might be useful: Irfanview

Your original message said, "Can anybody tell me how to post a pic in word and then type over it?" So, I thought you were using Microsoft Word, not WordPerfect. They are two totally different programs.

It's been many years since I used WordPerfect, but I used to add graphics and type over them; or add graphics and then add another graphic so that it would be positioned partly over the first graphic, etc. I couldn't give you instructions now, though, because it's been too long.

Sorry! :-(

Have you checked the "Help" feature in WordPerfect?

Thank you! I downloaded it... and I have the pic on the screen for the background... now, how do I put the text on there?

I know... I'm slow... whatta ya do?? ya know? lol

1.Left click on your picture and draw a box the size you want.
2. Under Edit, click on "insert text".
3. A box will come up. Pick your text, font, color etc.
(I usually have to play around 'til I get what I want.)
Good luck.

Sorry for the wrong "words" Lindsey... lol :o)
I think this Infranview is going to work out.
Thanks for taking the time to try to help me though!

:o)

And thanks LindaKathy for giving me that link... I think I figured it out!

I forgot to point out the "undo" feature.
It's to the left of the circled "i".
Just in case, of course. LOL.
It's a user friendly utility.

okay... got it to work and do just what I wanted... but, now, I'm trying to email it to my work email so I can print them tomorrow (my printer has no ink, lol) and it's saying the file is too large?? how frustrating... ?? Now... what do I do? Does anyone know the answer to THIS one?

MediaFire.com or RapidShare.com are best to use for large files. They're pretty self explanatory, so I'm sure you won't have any problems, but let me know if you do. After retrieving the URL for your upload, email it to yourself so you can download it at work. Just put that URL in the address bar and follow the instructions to download the image.

I have to wonder about the image for it to be too large to email. I imagined clipart or something you composed for the invitations that you wanted to write over. How is it larger than one or two megs?

Ok, Lindakathy I decided to try that. I have irfanview, but never added text with it.

Left clicking doesn't do anything for me, and right clicking neither.

What format does the picture have to be, to work for adding text?

Moni

Moni...after you left click on the picture you have to start moving your mouse to draw the box.
HTH.
NinN...Under Image, click on Information. You will see your Disk Size. It is probably huge.
To resize, go to Image, and click on Resize/Resample.
Try resizing to 75%, 50%, etc. until you get the size you want.
HTH

I'm not a very good teacher.
Moni...as you left click on the picture, hold the button down to draw a text box. The text box can be resized, moved, etc.
