picture frame placeholder in master page
Hi all,
i'm creating a master page for a publication (actually a CD label). The users of my template are able to add an image of their choice to a page based on the master page. This image must be a particular size and I want to add a frame to the master sheet to contain the image in order to fix the size so that the users can put an image in the preset frame without it affecting the rest of the page. At the moment, i'm trying to add an emtpy frame to the master page, but this doesn't seem to help because when you switch back to page view (which the 'users' will be using) you can't add an image to the frame - you can only do this apparently in the Master Page..... Is there any way of putting in a placeholder for an image on the Master Page so that someone else can add an image into the placeholder on the normal page view? cheer Dominic |

picture frame placeholder in master page
You can put the empty frame on the publication page, draw a box around the
entire publication, no fill, no line, send it to the back, group all objects together, this may prevent users moving the frame. You can insert an image without ungrouping, right-click the frame, click change picture. Not all pictures will adhere to the picture frame size, if the frame is elongated, portrait images will normally take up the entire frame, however if you decide to insert a landscaped picture in the same frame, the frame will change to accommodate the new orientation. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "dom_donald" wrote in message ...
