Is there a way to add or superimpose a picture onto the blank white square of
the newspaper graphic that spins onto the screen? I can add text that appears
as the front page of a newspaper, but can't seem to find out how to add a
picture into that specific space.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
The Captain!

Sure, save a copy of the file first so you can go back to the original
newspaper file, but it's the Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\news.png
file.... edit it however you want... you can add your picture using Paint.

Papjohn's suggestion is good for changing the default picture of the
newspaper but I think all you were asking to do was to place your video into
the picture area of the default newspaper title.

For this all you have to do is change the view to Timeline View by pressing
Ctrl-T and then drag your title into the "Title Overlay" track from the
video track it is now. Afterwards any video right above in the Video track
will automatically appear int he newspaper picture slot.

If however you wanted to tweak the title animation itself then here is a
detailed article which will get you started:
