* To insert a photo: Open a new blank document. Insert photo from file or CD. Select photo by clicking on it.
Under "Format" select "Format Picture". Select the "Layout" tab, then select "in front of text". This will cause your photo to be in front of any text or graphic in your layout. Copy the photo and paste into your layout. Use the "corner grippers" to resize the graphic, and click and drag the graphic to the appropriate spot in your layout. There's no need to save the blank document - just keep it open if you need to insert any more photos.
