Selecting objects from behind text

If you are working with an image in Word that you have chosen to send behind the document text, it can be difficult to actually select the image once it is positioned behind text.

To get around this you can click the 'Select Objects' (white arrow) button on the Drawing toolbar. This should make it easier to select the image.

Once you have finished manipulating the image, click on the 'Select Objects' button again (or press the Esc key) to be able to work with text in the document again.
