To Create a Table 
Use the Insert menu and then select Table. Then drag over the grid to choose the dimension of your table.

In the video you will see how to edit your table.





To Add an Image Use the Insert menu and select Image then choose from: Take a snapshot - take a picture with your webcam; By URL - enter the web address of an image online; Google Drive - select an image from your Google Drive.Search - search Google Images or Google’s Stock images collection.Upload - upload an image from your device.

To Add a Textbox

Use the Insert menu and select Drawing.  Then click on the textbox icon. After creating the textbox, finally insert it in your document.  

In the video, it will explain how to insert an image and textbox and how to use the wrap text.




You have three options when placing an image or textbox in a document:
  
In line- the picture acts like a piece of text and so cannot be freely placed on the page
Wrap text- the image is free and can be placed anywhere on the page, and that text will wrap around it. 
Break text- the same as wrap text except that there will be no text to the right or left, only above and below
