I have inserted and pasted a picture in word 2003, I am now trying to place a drawing object (oval) over a piece of the picture as I want to draw attention to that spot.
When i select drawing object and insert, it always ends up on the side of the picture and never over it. I have tried using the "order" buttons, as well as trying to play around with the "grid" setting in draw.


But nothing is working.

How can I set drawing objects to float over pictures or text?

After you insert a picture, Right-click on the picture and select "Format Picture". Click on the "Layout" tab. Then select "In Front of text" as your wrapping style. Click ok and it should work.

Thanks Turnbuk. I was concentrating on getting the object sorted out and not thinking about sorting out the actual picture!
