Once you position a graphic behind your text, it may seem as if you can no longer select it.
MS Word allows you to arrange your graphics so they are behind your text, so that your text appears in front of your graphic. But suppose you need to edit your graphic for one reason or another? Yes, I have had inquiries about this from users in a quandry because they do not know exactly how to select the graphic.
Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Be certain the Home tab of your Ribbon is displayed.
- In the Editing group, click the Select tool and then click on Select Objects.
- Click on the graphic you want to select, with no worry about the text that may be covering it.
- When you are finished editing or working with your graphic, be certain you again follow steps one and two above to turn off the Select Objects tool, or click on Esc.
- If you do not turn off the Select Objects tool, you will not be able to edit any of the text in your document.
Versions 2007, 2010
