how do I type standard text over images

Hey everyone I'm taking notes for my online school, and I copied and pasted an image from my class(a study guide) and I'm trying to type over it(they only provide images of the study guide for some reason), how can I type over an image in Word 2013?
Right-click on the image and select wrapping or formatting. You want the image to be behind text rather than in-line with text or wrapped.

If Charles solution isn't what you are looking for here are some more things to try:

If you want to make notes highlighting specific points on the image you will have to use some sort of image editing program. 
  • Paint is the simplest image editor that ships with Windows
  • or save the image as PDF and use a PDF reader that allows you to highlight and annotate
  • paste the image into OneNote and use the "Type" command in the Draw tab and highlighter pen


Ask the teacher to use a more friendly format like PDF or PPT or even Word.

If your educational budget will stand it, SnagIt is the ideal tool for annotating graphics. There is a trial version.
