How do you group a WordArt object with a JPEG or image?
Hi folks, I'm trying to create a logo for my snooker league. I've selected an image, cropped it to a circle and grouped it with a larger circle shaped background. Next I created a WordArt ring of text using the Transform function from Text Effects, to overlay around the picture on top of the background. So far so good, but I cant group the WordArt with the image. Any help in achieving this would be very much appreciated. |

Try it this way:
With the background & foreground images grouped, position the WordArt Ring over the grouped images. Now in the Home tab > Editing group > Select > Select Objects > Draw round all of the objects to select > Group the same as the images. |

Mmmm... didn't quite work
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and for your excellent graphic supported method. Unfortunately, when I get to the last step to group, it doesn't work e.g. doesn't give me the grouping option either from the ribbon or from right clicking. I wonder if that's an issue with the Office 365 version of Word?
So I was wondering, is there a way to convert a WordArt object to a picture? |

Try converting the WordArt to a ‘Picture’.
Select the WordArt > R/click the selection border > Cut > R/click in the document > Paste Options > Picture. Select the pasted ‘picture’ > Layout Options > In Front of Text > Move/Resize as Reqd. Go to the Home tab > Editing group > Select > Select all objects > Draw around all objects > R/click selection border(s) > Group > Group |

Can you select them and move them horizontally on the page? Is one behind text and another in front or in-line? |

...thanks for helping me out here. In the end, I conceded and took a screen shot, which I then cropped to size/shape. Long winded I know, but it did the job. I'll keep chipping away at the other methods for future reference.
