You have a picture and a shape. These are in what I would call different layers. I don't know that this is the correct term. Note that these are formatted using different Ribbon tabs even though many of the controls look the same on the two tabs.



If you create a textbox (a shape) and paste your picture inside the textbox the two shapes can then be grouped. Be careful to size your textbox large enough to hold your picture because it will shrink to fit. Your textbox can be formatted to have no borders.

The picture is an Inline Shape and is in the document layer.

Only items that are in the Drawing layer, (shapes, charts, and pictures with a wrap style other than "In line with text") can be grouped.

You can change the wrap style of your picture by right clicking on the picture and selecting a more appropriate wrap style from the Wrap Text menu.
