In mircrosoft word I want to paste a picture on top of an existing picture, is there a way I can do this?

Paste in the second picture, then choose Picture Format>Position>More Layout Options. Select the Text Wrapping tab, then click on In front of text in the Wrapping style section. Then move the second picture over top of the first.

Dear respected Matthew Haugh,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, in Word 365 click the existing picture to select it and then open the Format menu and click on the Layout tab and choose which ever wrapping style you prefer. This action allows you to move the picture around on the document. Insert the second picture, click once on the second picture to select it. Wrap the picture. 

For example, right-click on existing picture select **Wrap Text>Square>**Repeat the step to format the second image. After formatting the two images, now, you just need to drag the image above the existing image where you want to put.

Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad
