asked on Word 2016 - Overlay portion of screenshot
Word 2016/Win10:
I have a screenshot in a Word Doc, annotated with text boxes. (The relevant portion, w/o the text boxes is shown below.
![Portion of Screenshot needing overlay]()
I need to replace the green border around the left-arrow with an orange border. If this screenshot resided in Paint, I know how to handle it: I'd create an orange box elsewhere, and move it to overlay (is that the correct word?) the green box.
How can I do the same in Word?
Thanks,
Steve

I think if removing the original image & re-inserting the edited copy messes with the alignment of the text box & arrow, you could just click & drag each to re-arrange them.
But, I was playing around with that in Word 2013 and removing the image & pasting another image in its place didn't mess up the placement of my text boxes and arrows :![screenshot]()

Thanks. It turns out part of one of the text boxes seems to bleed into the screenshot. So, I'll have to do the click/drag thing. Workday done for me, so I'll pick this up tomorrow.

I wish there were a way to assign two "BEST SOLUTIONS". Both of you (Alicia and xtremie) provided such helpful information. :)
I will say that per the Change Picture method (xtremie) that you may need to get rid of extra whitespace on the right/bottom of the image, and i can't rule out having to re-size in Word also.
Great collaboration, both of you! That's what EE is all about. Thank you!

You are welcome...glad we could help
OK, that's worth a shot. Now, if I do that, is there a way to preserve the text boxes that (with arrows) point to elements of my screenshot? e.g. (Example severely redacted.)
Thanks!
