In Word you don't put the text "into" the picture. You can do either of
these things:

- Insert the picture. Then insert a text box on top of the picture, and
enter the text in it. Right-click the edge of the text box, choose Format
Text Box, and select No Fill and No Line for the fill color and line color.

- Insert the text as regular in-line text on the page. Insert the picture,
and set its text wrapping to Behind Text.
