Need help in putting a resume together. It requires a 1.5"x1.5" photo in upper right hand corner.

I’ve done the text part of the resume in Windows MSWorks.

What I’d like to do is retain the MSWorks text file, and simply superimpose the thumbnail photo into the upper right corner.

The question being: how do I do that, and what do I use?

I have Windows Paint and Irfanview.

I can open the text document in MSWorks, but can’t envision what to do next to end up with my thumb size photo in the upper right corner of the resume. And, will it then save as a MSWorks text file?

Surely you would be better asking this in a MS Works newsgroup? This one is for Adobe Photoshop.

Anyhoo, I can’t comment for Works, as I don’t have that installed, but I can tell you how to do it in MS Word, and that’s more or less a similar application.

In Word, click on the "Insert" menu, select the "Picture" sub-menu and then choose the "From File" option.
Now browse to find the picture you want to include, and select it. The image should appear in your MS Word document.
You can reposition it by simply dragging and dropping it wherever you want it.
If you need the text to wrap wround it, right click on the image and select "Show Picture Toolbar", and when the toolbar pops up, click on the "Text Wrapping" button.

Just checked on my laptop (it has works installed instead of office), and the process on MS Works is almost exactly the same as for MS Word.

The only difference is when setting the text to wrap around the image (if you need it to).
Instead of opening the picture toolbar, you need to right click on the image and select "Format Object".
You will then be presented with some text wrapping options, and you can select whichever one is most suitable to your needs.

Thanks so much.

I saw the photoshop in the newsgroup title, but it didn’t register with me that it was for a specifiic program. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thrown that out in this group.

Again, thanks.
