hey

this is what you do...
you can either
- copy & paste the picture into microsoft paint & then start at step 1 [note: once you paste it, you can't move it around, change the size, etc. you have to do all that beforehand]
or
- open paint & go to "file" - "open" & open the file & then go to step noe.

step one: on the left pane, there are two rows of 8 buttons each. on the second column, fourth row down, there is a little black capital "A." when you click it, your cursor will turn into something along the lines of a cross. you have to make a text box on the picture you want. you do this by using the cursor & making a box precisely where you want the text to appear.

step two: after you make the box, a blinking cursor appear & you can start typing whatever you want! to view the text toolbar to change the font, etc. just go to the standard toolbar (with file, edit, view, image, colors, help) and click "view" - "text toolbar"

a few things you have to keep in mind
- when you make the box, the background color of the text will be white. (you can change this- read ahead) if the picture you are using is a solid color, you can change the background color of your text to the background color of your image. you can do this by clicking on the little paint can [ 2nd column, 2nd row.. under the rectangle / square ] and making it that color.

i hope i helped! ♥

Go to paint..then click edit then click paste from...
I find it sometimes hard to use paint so I use Microsoft Picture It! Its so much easier to me. It was already on my computer so check and see if you have it.

I'm not sure how well you'll get this (mainly because I don't know how computer literate you are). Anyway, do you know how to open a picture through paint? Once you do that you can use paint to edit it in any way you want. You can make it larger, smaller, write on it, add funky stuff to it. I guess it really depends on how well you do with paint on whether or not you'll be able to do this. I have hp photo imaging shop so I can use either of the two. I don't know what you have so this is the best I can do for ya.
