Can I change the shape of a picture frame?
I'd like to create a picture frame with a shape other than a square/rectangle
(i.e. oval, octagon, ect.) so that a picture that is inserted in that frame will take that shape. Is there a way to do this in Publisher? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Thank you, KDill |

You can draw a shape with the freeform tool in autoshapes. Your picture will not
take the shape of the frame, basically the picture will be inserted as a best fit. However, if you select the picture, right-click, edit points... -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "KDill" wrote in message ...

Is there a way to do this in Publisher? Any help would be greatly appreciated! =================================== Try this...select an AutoShape...left click/drag the shape onto your project...right click the shape and choose... Format AutoShape / Colors and Lines tab / Color drop window / Fill Effects / Picture tab / Select Picture button / Browse to and select the picture / OK / OK. I would suggest using image editing software for a project of this type. For example in MS Digital Image 2006, you can create a cutout in many different shapes and then apply a choice of borders to the cutout. If you would like to try the program, there's a downloadable trial version. Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006 is a downloadable 60 day trial version with much of the functionality of MS Digital Image Suite 2006. Once your 60 day trial period has ended, the program will de-feature to minimal functionality. Unlike the retail version...the trial does not have the ability to create VCDs and does not support RAW files. Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006 http://tinyurl.com/8x6ea Be aware that it's a 109 MB download.... -- John Inzer |
