If your Word document contains images, add annotations to make the images easier to understand. Adding annotations to these images directs your audience to a specific area of the image, and you can also add text descriptions. Annotating images can also help you create professional presentations and documents for work and school. Here's how to add annotations to images in a Word document.

To annotate an image in Word, insert the image into a document and then draw a shape over the image.
