How do I take a square and...
Hi Everyone,
I have Publisher 2007. I'm making plans for a wood duck box and I want to make a square and then pull one corner of it slightly down so it looks like the wood duck box is on a slight angle. Is this possible please. Thanks for your time. -- Ron |

You can draw a square, copy/paste special as a .wmf, ungroup then edit the
points. This will allow you to pull down one corner. Publisher also has 3D tools. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Ron" wrote in message ... Hi Everyone, I have Publisher 2007.

Hi Mary,
I'm so sorry to bother you but I can't get it to work. I can draw a square, copy/paste special as a .wmf which I hope is "Picture Windows Metafile", then I can click the "Select Objects" tool , and then drag to make a selection rectangle around the square. Then I can go to "Arrange" and click on "Ungroup", then You wrote "edit the points". I don't know how. Eveything I try does not pull down one corner. Can you explain it for me please? I really hate to bother you again. Thank you, Ron -- Ron "Mary Sauer" wrote: You can draw a square, copy/paste special as a .wmf, ungroup then edit the points.

Hey Ron, This is my fault. I had forgotten you couldn't turn an AutoShape into a
picture that one could edit the points. This is what you want to do. Autoshapes, Lines, Freeform. Manually draw your square. You can create ruler guides that will help keep your lines straight and the result square. Right-click the creation, the edit points should be active. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Ron" wrote in message ... Hi Mary, I'm so sorry to bother you but I can't get it to work.
