How to arrange images on top of each other in Word

 There are quite a few people who do not know the settings to be able to merge photos in Word, or overlap photos in Word. When merging images on top of each other in Word, you can adjust them to merge into many different styles when inserting images in Word.

Instructions for stacking images on top of each other in Word

Step 1:

First, we click Insert to insert images in Word as usual. Then you need to check the display position of the image relative to the text. There will be some locations where images cannot be overlapped.

Click on the image and then click on Wrap text in the Picture Format section . If you are placing an image in the In Line with Text layout, it will not be possible to overlap the image . Switch to Square, Tight, Through layout styles depending on the document and image.

Step 2:

Next we adjust the size of the images inserted in Word to overlap.

Then click on the image, look up at the Picture Format section , then look down at the Position section , then click More Layout Options .

Step 3:

Display the setup interface, click on the Position tab , then look down and select the Allow Overlap setting and then click OK to save.

We will have to do this operation for all images we want to overlap in Word.

Step 4:

Then we drag the composite images on top of each other as usual by pressing and holding on the photo and then dragging it on top of another image.

Next, in case you want to adjust the position of the image appearing before another image by clicking on the image and then selecting the position in front of Bring to Font as shown below.
