The method to set the image to float above the text in Word is: select the image, click "Every text" in the "Image Format" tab, and select "Float above the text"; the method to set the image to cover the text through CSS in web development is: use position: absolute and z-index to control the hierarchy, and ensure that the parent container has position: relative; the way to adjust the layer order in PPT or design software is: right-click to select "Place on top" or drag the layer position through the layer panel.

Sometimes when you are typing or designing, you will find that the picture is blocked by the text, or the text is covered on the picture. At this time, you need to "refer" the image to the front of the text and let it be displayed on the top layer. The implementation method is actually not difficult, the key depends on what tool you use.

How to make pictures float above text in Word

If you are operating in Microsoft Word, such as writing reports or making resumes, you often need to insert pictures and adjust their position. By default, images are embedded in the middle of text, and do not float or overwrite text.

Solution:

• Open Word document and select the image you want to adjust
• Click the "Image Format" tab in the top menu bar (different versions may be slightly different)
• Find the "Encircle text" button in the "Arrange" group
• Select non-embedded wrapping methods such as "floating above text" or "tight"

After setting this way, the picture will be separated from the text stream, can be dragged freely to any position, and will appear in front of the text.

Tip: If the image still does not float, it may be set to "embed cell" or "lock anchor point". Try moving it outside the paragraph and resetting it.

Let images cover text in web development

If you are writing HTML and CSS, if you want to cover an image above the text, you need to use positioning attributes and hierarchical control.

Basic practices:

• Use position: absolute or position: relative to position to locate elements
• Set the z-index attribute for the picture, the greater the value, the higher the
• Make sure the parent container has position: relative , otherwise the positioning may occur errors

 .container {
  position: relative;
}

.overlay-image {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 2;
}

This way the picture can be covered on other content (including text).

Adjust the layer order in PPT or design software

Visual editing tools such as PowerPoint, Photoshop, and Canva usually have "layer panels" or "object panels". You can control who is in front and who is behind by adjusting the layer order.

General Operation:

• Select the picture
• Right-click → "Place on top" or use shortcut keys (such as Ctrl Shift)
• Or drag the upper and lower positions of the layer in the Layers panel

Note: Some software puts text on the top layer by default, especially template design tools. Remember to check whether "Lock Layer" or "Fixed Background" is set.

Basically these common scenarios. Different software has different names, but the core logic is "changing the hierarchical relationship of objects". As long as you find the corresponding function entrance, it is generally not difficult to handle.
