Pictures also possess a text element. To format this text proceed in exactly the same way as a normal rectangle. You can use this text element to place lettering over the picture or to give the picture a caption. Usually you will produce text as a separate object and then group it with the picture because you have more flexibility in what you can do with the text. Here are two examples showing what is technically possible with text elements. The construction of each is carried out using a format style.
