MS Publisher ships with over five thousand clipart images and photographs. You can insert any of these into your publication.

However, for an even more dramatic and creative look, why not "layer" two or more images?

If you plave two images on top of each other, the second image will obscure the first. However, you can achieve really eye-catching results by deciding which of the images should be on top. Like this...

Here we have two graphics, a quill pen and a letter, but the letter is obscuring the pen, making the graphic unusable.

Notice that the Letter graphic is selected.  What we need to do is to send it to the back, so that the quill can be on top.

Click on the "Send to Back" tool on the top toolbar which looks like this:

And suddenly your graphic takes on a whole new clarity!

Notice, when you use the "Send to Back" or "Bring to Front" tools, the top graphic becomes "transparent" and does NOT totally obscure the graphic beneath it)

If you place a text box on top of a picture, it won´t automatically become transparent. In that case,  to allow the picture behind to show through, press the Ctrl + T keys simultaneously.
