Hi- I'm trying to help my son with a report and the idea is to have a picture and text formatted in the upper portion of the page and written text below. There will be many pages and we'd like to have each page formatted the same so that we can swap out the picture (each page will have a different one) and text at the top but keep all of the formatting the same.

Can someone please help? Is the best thing to set it up as a header with placeholders? I'm afraid my Word knowledge is limited- we'd appreciate any help, thank you.

Hi rwear,

You could set up a document with a rectangular autoshape and whatever standard text you want in the header, then, when editing in the body of the document, position your images over the autoshape. Something along the lines of the attached. The limitation is that, for the layout on every page to remain the same, you're constrained by whatever size autoshape you use. BTW, you can turn off the autoshape's borders - I've just left them visible for illustration.
