The process of inserting images beneath text in Word is simpler than you might think. In reality, it's quite straightforward! Typically, when you insert an image into a Word document, it overlaps the text, obscuring it. Your task in this article is to handle the image placement beneath the text in Word - meaning adding the image while ensuring the text content remains visible, without being obscured.

Guide: Inserting Images Below Text in Word
In this article, we'll demonstrate how to insert images below text using Word 2016 - a widely used version today. The same steps can be applied to other versions like Word 2013 and Word 2010.
When you insert an image using the Insert -> Picture command, it appears on the editing interface. However, it tends to sit alongside or above existing images or text in the document.
To make an image appear below text or other images in Word, follow these steps:
Step 1: Left-click on the image to select it -> then click on Layout Options as described in the image below:
Step 2: The Layout Options interface appears as shown in the image below. You'll see the selected image in the In Front of Text section (the image will be displayed in front of text)
Step 3: To make the image appear below text in Word -> select Behind Text (the image will be behind the text).
The result is that the image will display behind the text -> you can move the image to fit the text content in Word, and at the same time, easily change font, font size, and color for the text...
Alternatively, you can try another method by right-clicking on the image ->Send to Back -> then choose Send Behind Text -> The result will be the same as the method above.
So now you know how to insert images below text in Word! Essentially, it's just adding images to a Word document as usual, but users will need to adjust the position between the added image and the previously entered content as instructed above for success.
