Во время работы с текстом в Word нередко приходится вставлять изображения в документ. При этом может возникнуть потребность в том, чтобы их подписать или сделать пометки, вставить замечания и так далее. Присутствующие в Word функции помогут не только поместить картинку в документ, но и дадут возможность нанести непосредственно на само изображение или подле него необходимый текст.
Написание текста на изображении в Word
Microsoft Word располагает несколькими инструментами для одновременной работы с картинками и текстом. Можно просто вписать слова в изображение, находящееся на заднем фоне, использовать буквицу или Word Art, а также создать специальное текстовое поле в документе, не говоря о добавлении подписи к рисункам или отдельной картинке. Обо всех этих методах и их особенностях пойдёт речь в данной статье.
Способ 1: Написание текста в картинке на заднем фоне
Самый простой и грубый способ написать текст на изображении в Word — это поместить картинку на задний фон документа, задав соответствующее обтекание текстом, а на переднем плане написать текст. Предположим что картинка уже содержится в документе.
- Кликните правой кнопкой мыши по изображению, на котором следует написать текст. В выпавшем контекстном меню последовательно нажмите на «Обтекание текста», а после «За текстом».
- Наведите курсор мыши на левую область и нажмите левой кнопкой мыши, для того, чтобы курсор появился на тексте, при надобности измените его положение с помощью клавиши «Enter».
- Рекомендуется не задевать большую часть области с левой стороны, для того чтобы избежать выделения всего рисунка и его удаления (замещения текстом) при начале набора.
- Начинайте вводить текст, будто печатаете его на чистом листе в Word.
Теперь можете как угодно нанести слова на изображение, при этом будут доступны все инструменты Word. Работа с помощью этого способа особо ничем не отличается от обычной деятельности в текстовом редакторе за исключением как бы подложенной под текст картинки, что является плюсом и подходит, например, для создания открыток. Минус такого подхода в том, что выделить рисунок или текст станет несколько неудобно: совершенно случайно можно захватить не то, что хотел пользователь, или же выделить текст или картинку полностью, чего по задумке не требовалось.
Способ 2: Вставка надписи
Первый профильный способ, если можно так сказать, для написания текста поверх изображения или же другого графического объекта. Отличается от обтекания тем, что для изменения текста становится доступно больше инструментов.
- Чтобы вставить надпись, нажмите на панель «Вставка», далее выберите раздел «Надписи» и из выпавшего меню укажите один из заданных вариантов, какой проходит вам больше. Кроме этого, можно нажать на кнопку «Нарисовать надпись» для создания своей надписи, отличной от стандартных.
- После выбора будет предоставлена возможность изменить размер или уклон области вводимого текста. Дополнительно станут доступны «Средства рисования» на вкладке «Формат», с помощью которых можно изменить цвет рамки надписи, поменять или удалить заливку фона текста, поиграть с контуром и эффектом, добавить для написанного особый стиль или изменить его направление.
- Если вы примените все, или хотя бы несколько инструментов из предыдущего шага, ваша надпись может слегка или кардинально, но всё же заметно измениться.
Таким образом, этот вариант подходит для вставки разных примечаний, особых кусочков текста, выделения цитат и прочего, для чего может понадобиться минимальное художественное оформление. Недостаток метода состоит в том, что в таком случае работать с длинными текстами становится неудобно, так как появляется необходимость разбивать их на несколько надписей.
Способ 3: Вставка WordArt
Будучи инструментом, сходным с надписями, WordArt предназначен больше для нескольких слов, которые надо как-то вычурно оформить.
- Для вставки объекта WordArt перейдите на вкладку «Вставка», потом кликните по значку «WordArt» и выберите стиль, в котором вы хотите видеть его на картинке.
- Как можно видеть, этот способ является использованием объекта такого же типа как надписи, но с изначально заданным художественным стилем и без рамки, обладая теми же инструментами и параметрами для редактирования.
- При этом, имея направленность на пару коротких слов, WordArt больше поддаётся для манипуляций с текстом, и то, что для объёмных надписей было бы недоступно или неудобно, можно применить здесь, как, например, выгибание текста дугой.
Фундаментально не отличаясь от надписей, WordArt представляет собой инструмент быстрого создания какой-то красивой и оформленной надписи. Плюсом является то, что после клика по стилю пользователю сразу доступен какой-либо вид художественного оформления. Недостаток в том, что все инструменты редактирования такие же, как у надписей, и при должном желании WordArt можно превратить в надпись и наоборот.
Способ 4: Вставка названия
В том случае, когда пользователю необходимо не столько написать что-то в картинке, сколько дать ей описание, лучше всего использовать вставку названия.
- Кликните правой кнопкой мыши по изображению, которое нужно подписать. В контекстном меню нажмите на «Вставить название…».
- В открывшемся окошке назовите ваше изображение, выбрав, какая подпись будет идти перед самим названием — это может быть «Рисунок», «Таблица» или «Формула». Выбор объекта подписи важен, если хотите соблюсти автоматическую нумерацию картинок в тексте. Далее определитесь с положением подписи: она может под текстом или над ним. При этом подпись можно вообще не использовать, поставив соответствующую галочку, если вы хотите видеть исключительно названия графических объектов в документе. После всего нажмите кнопку «ОК».
- Теперь перед вами картинка с подписью, которую в случае необходимости можно редактировать как угодно.
При желании можно создать новую подпись, кликнув на «Создать…», тогда ваше наименование будет появляться в списке предлагаемых вариантов во всех документах. В отличие от стандартных, его можно удалить позже.
Вставка названия — хороший инструмент для подписи картинок, если от текстового выделения больше ничего не требуется и сам текст не обязательно помещать на изображение.
Подходя к итогу, следует сказать, что написать текст поверх картинки в Microsoft Word не очень сложно, даже довольно удобно и порой интересно, если требуется его как-то красиво оформить. Текстовый редактор даёт для этого все инструменты, такие как обычное добавление текста поверх картинки, пользуясь ей как некой подложкой, блоковое написание для заметок или выделения одних частей документа над остальными, создание красиво оформленных художественных и технических подписей.

Помимо работы с текстом, программа MS Word также позволяет работать и с графическими файлами, которые в ней можно изменять (хоть и по минимуму). Так, нередко добавленную в документ картинку требуется как-нибудь подписать или дополнить, причем, сделать это необходимо так, чтобы сам текст находился поверх изображения. Именно о том, как наложить текст на картинку в Ворде, мы и расскажем ниже.
Существует два метода, с помощью которых можно наложить текст поверх картинки — это использование стилей WordArt и добавление текстового поля. В первом случае надпись будет красивая, но шаблонная, во втором — вы имеете свободу выбора шрифтов, типа написания и форматирования.
Microsoft Word заслужено считается одним из лучших текстовых редакторов, но для работы с графическими элементами, даже элементарной, он подходит с большой натяжкой. Поэтому для наложения надписи на картинку целесообразнее будет воспользоваться не этой программой, а более специализированным средством – онлайн-сервисом Canva, где данная задача решается буквально в несколько кликов, а доступные во встроенном редакторе шаблоны помогут качественно улучшить подобный проект.

Right-click on the image and select the Wrap Text option.
This will display a horizontal drop-down menu on the right. Once you see the drop-down menu, select Behind Text.
You’ll notice the images and text will rearrange automatically as you hover over the text wrapping options.
If after you’ve inserted a background image and the text becomes unreadable, you can change the image’s opacity or color.
Simply double-click on the image to activate the Format tab in the Ribbon.
After that, click on the Color drop-down menu and select Washout under the Recolor group.

From there, select and drag the WordArt to easily move it around to the perfect location on your document.

How to write on a picture in Word
If you want to add text to an image via Word, then let me show you the steps to follow based on the version of the program you are using.
The procedure for inserting text on an image in Word does not differ much between the classic Word for Windows and macOS, the free online version of the application and the mobile version for smartphones and tablets. Here’s everything in detail.
Word
I start by telling you about the procedure for write text over pictures in Word for computer. If you are interested but you have not yet installed Word on your computer, first I suggest you read this guide of mine.
If, on the other hand, you already have Word and are ready to proceed, start by opening the program: you can find it in the Start menu di Windows or in Launchpad di MacOS. Once this is done, open the document you intend to work on.
From the main screen of the software, the first step you must take is to insert the image on which you will subsequently write: to do this, click on the tab Inserisci, at the top, and then press the icon Image. Proceed by navigating through the folders on your computer to the one that contains the image or photo to be imported and once located, click on it twice.
Now open the menu Size image, to access the respective options and preferences, then click the button Text arrangement and press on the item Behind the text, in order to «tell» Word to place the image behind the text you are going to write.
What to do now? Virtually nothing more than entering the text. If everything went well, at this point you can write the text as you would on a blank page to see that the writing automatically positions itself over the image, without wrapping or next to it.
A second way to write text over an image in Word is to insert a text box. This function is always accessible from the board Inserisci, after clicking on Text box and preference Draw text box.
The mouse cursor thus turns into a cross: to draw the box, click on the point where it is to be inserted, hold down the click and move the cursor in any direction. To actually insert the text, click inside the box and type the text as you normally would. Finally, move the box after making a long click and place it over the image.
Another way to add text to an image in Word is to use a WordArt. After importing the image, click on the tab Inserisci, then click on the logo WordArt and select the style and color you prefer.
Finally, write the text to be placed over the image in the new box WordArt and move it to the place you want. Very simple, right?
Word Online
Do you prefer to use Word Online for its versatility and practicality? Great idea, this version of Microsoft’s text creation program offers many of the possibilities of the computer version, including adding text to an image, with the advantage of being free and usable by all popular browsers.
To proceed, connect to the Word Online login page and log in with your Microsoft account. From the Word Online main page, choose whether to create a New blank document, by clicking on the appropriate button, or if you load an existing one from your device, by pressing on the item Load and open.
From the new document screen, insert the image or photo to write on. The procedure is the same as that already seen for Word for Windows and macOS.
To be able to write over the imported image in Word you have to double click on it, in order to access the menu Image. Next, select the item from the bar at the top Text arrangement e premi sull’opzione Behind the text.
By doing this you have set the preference to be able to write in the document by bringing the image behind the text, so that the latter is always on top of the image. In other words, to write over the image you just have to write normally and format the text so as to arrange it according to your preferences.
If instead you would like to write some text inside an image using the text box tool or WordArt, then I must tell you that this is unfortunately not possible on Word Online. These features are only available in Word for computers and the Word app for smartphones and tablets.
If you want to know more about how you can use Word Online, I leave you to my guide dedicated to the service.
App Word mobile
In this chapter I want to focus on how to proceed to place text over an image using the Microsoft Word for Android (also available on alternative stores for devices without Play Store) and iOS / iPadOS. If you have not yet installed the application, you should know that it is very simple and nothing different from what is the usual download and installation procedure. So visit the links I just provided you from the device of your interest and press the button Installa / Ottieni (on iPhones and iPads, you may be asked to verify your identity).
I would like to clarify that the Word app is free only for devices with dimensions equal to or less than 10.1 «, otherwise it requires the subscription of a Microsoft 365 subscription, starting from 7 euros / month. I also point out that between smartphones and tablet the app interface has a difference in the placement of the menu bar.
In practice, on smartphones it is located at the bottom of the screen, divided into special drop-down menus, while on tablets it is positioned at the top, more similar to the desktop version of Word.
Proceed, therefore, by opening the Word app from the application menu of your smartphone or tablet. Then choose whether to create a new document by tapping the button with the symbol [+], or whether to select an existing one from your device or from a supported cloud service. Then press the a symbol key pen, to enable changes to the document.
Proceed now by inserting the image you want to write text on. To do this, scroll down the section Home area of toolbar and select the icon that represents aimage, to open the folder navigation menu and search for the photo or image stored on your device.
Now, import the image into Word by tapping on it, and always via the toolbar, press the button Text arrangement (recognizable by the icon with a lined sheet and a black arc in the center). To write the text inside the image, choose the option Behind the text.
At this point, if everything went the right way, when you get to write near the image, the text will not go to the head or to the side of the image but will be placed exactly on top of it.
In addition to this method, you can insert text over images in Word using the tool Text box present in the menu Inserisci. As soon as you tap on this tool, a box with temporary text is created in your Word document.
With a long tap on the box, you can move it wherever you like, while by making a quick press on its center you can select the item Edit text. Write here the text to be inserted inside the image and adjust the size of the box with a long tap on its edges.
How to write next to a picture in Word
After explaining how to write inside an image in Word, let me now show you the procedure on how to write next to a picture in Word.
If you have already learned how to write inside the image, you will see that placing the text next to it will be a breeze, both from a computer, from the Web and smartphone / tablet. Here’s how to do it.

Simple: basically, Word positions the text following the image, but if you intend to align it differently you can act from the menu Size of the image, reachable after double clicking on it.
The next step is to click the icon Location and select the alignment style from the preview menu. For example, with the first choice the text is aligned on the right side of the image, with the second on the sides (leaving the image in the center) and with the third option the text is positioned next to the left side.
That’s all. Easy, right? If you are looking for other ways to insert text next to an image in Word, you can use the tools Text box e WordArt which I already told you about in a previous chapter.
The tool is also added to these methods caption. You ask me how to insert a caption in Word? Simple, click on the tab References up, then up Insert caption, then type the content of the caption into the box Caption.
Of course, you can also change the caption label by clicking on the button New label and typing the name of the label. Once the changes are complete, click the button OK to confirm. The caption will be placed where you left the text cursor.
