Clip Art Position in Word Using Text Boxes

It is much easier to position Clip art or pictures in word by using Text Boxes from the Drawing Toolbar

Obviously you have to have the drawing toolbar displayed in order to use it.

So Right click on a space in the top Toolbar and select or put a tick in the Drawing toolbar from the drop down window

Having done that now you can use a Text Box as follows:‐ On the Drawing toolbar, click Text Box.

Click the border of the box that contains the words ʺCreate your drawing here,ʺ

Then click the Text Box that appears, and drag it to where you want to position the graphic. To add clip art to the text box, place your cursor within it, click Insert on the menu bar, point to Picture, and click Clip Art or Picture from file

Obviously you search for and choose the one you want.

Now you can use the options on the Drawing toolbar to enhance a text box

For example, to change the fill colour just as you can with any other drawing object.

When using a text box to display a graphic, be sure to change the line colour on the text box to No line. ( Or you will have a border which you do not want. )

This way certainly puts you in charge of where and how your insert looks.
