From the dialog box, scroll down, select Microsoft Word Document from the list, and click OK.
This will open a Word document to add and adjust content. Insert your image and text in the document and align it using Wrap Text from the Insert tab. Try various layouts, such as Tight, to adjust your text and image. Close the Word document.
