Images in ovals

I've got a lot of rectangles in my publication! Is it
possible to put images - say photos or clipart - into an
oval shape like you can in PowerPoint.

I'm currently using Publisher 2000.

Help to free me of surplus angles would be greatly
appreciated.

Yes, but you'll need to do Insert New Drawing first
