I can't seem to use the callouts on top of a photo I have inserted into a word doc (Office Mac 2008). I am updated, with snowleopard. Every time I put a callout on top of a photo the photo shoots off to the side. To use an existing image for superimposing, click the 'Picture' button, browse to the picture and double-click it. To use one of Word's included clip art images, click the 'Clip Art' button, type a term into the 'Search for' box, click 'Go,' scroll through the results and double-click a picture.

If your business needs to combine one image with another, you can insert a cropped image into another photo on your Mac. For example, you may have a photo of several new product boxes and you want to crop out one product box and paste it into a photo that shows people using the product. All new Macs come with Apple’s free Preview application already installed, which you can use to open and edit images.
1.Right-click the image file that you want to crop on your Mac, click “Open With” from the pop-up menu and then click “Preview” to open the photo in Apple’s native image editing application.
2.Click “Tools” from the Preview application menu and then click “Select Tool.” The cursor becomes a crosshair.
3.Drag the cursor to select the area that you want to crop. Click “Edit” from the menu and then click “Copy” to copy the cropped image onto the Mac’s clipboard.
4.Click “File” from the Preview application menu, then “Open,” then navigate to the photo into which you want to insert the cropped image and then click “Open.”
5.Click “Edit” from the Preview menu and then click “Paste.” The cropped image pastes from the clipboard into the second photo and the cursor becomes a hand. Click the cropped image and then drag it to the location where you want to place it in the second image. Click anywhere in the image to lock the cropped image into place.
6.Click “File” from the menu and then click “Save” to save your changes.

Word allows you to place all sorts of graphic images in your documents. Many times you may want to place the images behind the text. Exactly how you do this depends on the type of images with which you are working. If you are working win an image you created by using the Drawing toolbar, you can follow these steps: - Select the image.
- Choose the Order option from the Draw menu on the Drawing toolbar. Word displays a submenu.
- Choose Send Behind Text from the submenu. The image should move behind the text.
- Select the image. The Picture toolbar should appear. (If the toolbar doesn't appear, select Toolbars from the View menu and choose the Picture toolbar.)
- Click on the Text Wrapping tool on the toolbar. Word displays a list of wrapping methods you can choose.
