While writing a story, using Writer, I have one of the story's characters daydreaming about something. To show that he is daydreaming, I am using a 'cloudy-shaped' callout. I would like to place an image into the callout, to show what he is thinking about, but when I try to do so, the callout appears to be a solid color and the image does not appear. I am using Writer, but maybe this is the wrong application. Should I be using Draw instead?

But, no matter which application, Writer or Draw, I need to use, I don't know how to go about placing the image into the callout, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Right-click the callout and select Arrange > Send to Back. If that doesn't work, upload a sample file.

Right click with the shape selected, choose area menu item, area tab, set the fill to none.

That did it!! Thanks a million, Bill.
