Trying to type text after picture
I use Word 2013 to create Assembly Instructions for our company. First I create the assembly in Solidworks, then snip images from Solidworks and insert as a picture in Word. I have to use text boxes to label the image as we need to be able to edit the text boxes after. My images are all in the back as far as order goes and my images and text boxes are all brought to the front. The problem I am having is that once I insert a picture, I then need to be able to type text after the picture, so I have to hit the ”enter” button several times to get the cursor underneath the picture. What is the trick to doing this? I am fairly new at Word.
Regards

You do NOT need to use Text Boxes. Rather, insert the image so that it is in-line with the text and insert the caption into a paragraph before or after the image and if the caption is to be before the image, format the paragraph containing the caption so that it is kept together with the next paragraph, which will be the one containing the image. If the caption is to be after the image, format the paragraph containing the image so that it is kept together with the next paragraph containing the caption.
By adopting this method, you will avoid the possibility of your document becoming corrupted as a result of mis-matched xml tag errors/
Instead of using a Text Box, insert a Caption below the illustration. It likely will be in a Text Box. If it is, select the text box and the image and group them. You will be able to edit the text. The Captions can be used to create a Table of Figures.
How are you inserting the pictures? Try pressing the End key and then the Enter key.
