Oval shaped crop...

I'm trying to crop a photo and obtain an oval result, not a rectangular one.
For example, to eliminate the "busy" background behind a nice photo of your
spouse or dog.

I'm now using Visio 2003 Professional. I recall making an oval crop once
but don't recall if it was with this version or an earlier one.

TIA!

Another alternative is w to Clip or Mask a Circular Region on a Visio Page?
at
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...-109b2b62076c).
Similar to the reference given by Al Edlund, but is limited to
circles/ellipses or squares/rectangles, and has a few functional differences.

Sorry, WapperDude - your link comes back to TIT post, not the one you
planned to send me to about the "Clip or Mask a Circular Region". Can you
try again?
Thanks!
