Как наложить картинку на картинку в Ворде

Иногда во время работы с MS Word возникает необходимость не просто добавить картинку или несколько картинок в документ, но еще и наложить одну на другую. К большому сожалению, средства работы с изображениями в этой программе реализованы не так хорошо, как хотелось бы. Конечно, Ворд — это в первую очередь текстовый, а не графический редактор, но все же было бы не плохо совмещать две картинки путем простого перетягивания.

Урок: Как в Word наложить текст на картинку

Для того, чтобы наложить рисунок на рисунок в Ворде нужно проделать ряд несложных манипуляций, о которых мы и расскажем ниже.

1. Если вы еще не добавили в документ изображения, которые хотите наложить друг на друга, сделайте это, воспользовавшись нашей инструкцией.

2. Кликните дважды по картинке, которая должна находиться на переднем плане (в нашем примере это будет меньшая картинка, логотип сайта Lumpics).

3. В открывшейся вкладке “Формат” нажмите на кнопку “Обтекание текстом”.

4. В развернувшемся меню выберите параметр “Перед текстом”.

5. Переместите эту картинку на ту, которая должна находится за ней. Для этого просто кликните левой кнопкой мышки по изображению и переместите его в нужное место.

Картинки совмещены в Word

Для большего удобства рекомендуем проделать со второй картинкой (расположенной на заднем плане) манипуляции, описанные выше в пунктах 2 и 3, вот только из меню кнопки “Обтекание текстом” необходимо выбрать параметр “За текстом”.

Если вы хотите, чтобы две картинки, которые вы наложили друг на друга, были совмещены не только визуально, но и физически, их необходимо сгруппировать. После этого они станут единым целым, то есть, все операции, которые вы в дальнейшем будете выполнять над картинками (например, перемещение, изменение размера), будут выполняется сразу для двоих изображений, сгруппированных в одно. О том, как сгруппировать объекты, вы можете прочесть в нашей статье.

Whether you’re working on a hefty research project or a friendly holiday greeting card, adding images to your Word document can really add value to your project. Whether you want to insert a picture from your computer or find one online, it’s easy to add photos in Word. This wikiHow teaches you how to insert an image into a Microsoft Word document using Windows, a Mac, and the free web version of Word.

    • This method works for all modern versions of Word beginning with Word 2016. You can also use it as a guide for earlier versions of Windows, although there will be fewer tools and features.
    • Changing the background is done through a different method, using the Design tab.

  • Question

    How do I take screenshots?

    Community Answer

    On a Mac, shift command 3 to screenshot the whole screen. If you want to take a screenshot of a certain area on the screen, press shift command 4. On a Windows PC, press control and print screen at the same time, then you can paste the image into Paint or Microsoft Word.

  • Question

    When I insert several photos on an age in a Word document, the photos often won’t stay in place. How do I stop the photos from bumping each other around?

    Community Answer

    You can right-click the image, hold the cursor over the «Wrap Text» menu option, and select an option from the list that is NOT «In Line with Text» (usually selected by default), such as «Tight» or «Behind/In Front of Text.» Then you should be able to move the image freely around the page.

  • Question

    How do I format images in a Word document?

    Community Answer

    Try double-tapping the photo. A photo format menu should come up on the right side.
