Picture becomes unselectable if behind text
If I insert a picture from a file into a document I can move it about and do various things provided it's not behind the text. If I order it behind the text I cannot then select it to reposition it or do anything else with it.
How can I avoid this? |

For Word 2003 & earlier, with the Drawing toolbar visible, click on the Select Objects tool. This is normally the second tool from the left and looks like a large mouse pointer. If you then click over the shape that has the 'behind text' format, it will be selected.
For Word 2007 & later you'll find an 'Editing' panel at the right-hand end of the Ribbon's Home tab. In that is a 'Select' dropdown. From that, choose 'Select Objects'. If you then click over the shape that has the 'behind text' format, it will be selected.
