How can I put text over an image in writer?

I am making a brochure from a tru-fold template. I need help pasting an image and then having the ability to put text over the image. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Basically, you do that with the Wrap property of the image. Choose Through variant which makes the image “transparent”. Anchor should be page or paragraph. But positionning your text against the image will need extensive manual tuning.

Alternately, insert your image, anchored to page so that you can move it anywhere you like. Create a frame for the (short) text to put over the image, again anchored to page. But be aware that frames cannot have a transparent backgraound, consequently part of the image will be hidden by text background.

You’ll have to experiment between these possibilities.
