shapes and croping HELP!!
For those of you who work Publisher as second nature this
is going to sound silly and trivial... I have a gif that I want to look as though it is in an oval frame, without any borders or anything fancy... So far I have inserted the picture into the page, used the oval tool, selected the desired size and shape and that is it!!!, how do I extract (or crop)the shape, removing the outside of the picture leaveing me with a nice compleate oval picture? Please help, Jo

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Mary
Sauer !"... Select the oval autoshape, fill, fill effects, picture tab, browse to your image. That's Publisher 2002 and 2003 only You need to do Insert Object Microsoft Draw (IIRC) to do this in 2000 -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm

shapes and croping HELP!!
Hey Ed, My mistake... I really should install 2000 on this computer, I have all the
others installed, 2000 is in the corner on computer #1. Thanks for the correction... Is school out over there? It is here in most places, which means we will be getting some weird posts soon. Kiddies love to mess with newsgroups. -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ...

No probs. 2000 2002 was my first big version change in Publisher (2000 was the first version I used seriously), so I remember it well... Is school out over there? It is here in most places, which means we will be getting some weird posts soon. School is out for the Whitsun half-term holiday here (one week) - but I'm not really noticing because I'm on study leave for my AS exams. I'm back in school on June 21 until July 21, when the 6-week summer holidays begin. Kiddies love to mess with newsgroups. I can vouch for that  )-- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm

shapes and croping HELP!!
Hi Mary,
I read through all the messages in this group relating to this subject, (all 44 pages!!)and noted your suggestions and tried to replicate them. However I can not find anything about 'fill' anywhere!! After creating the oval shape the only fill I can find is if I right click on the shape or go to format I get fill colour and I then get a fill effects. That gives me tints, patterns or gradients with tiny squares with the aforementioned in the boxes, nowhere is there a picture tab in this section. This is so stupid, it is not some complicated thing I am trying to do, but I have spent hours trying to do it!! I would be most grateful if you can help, am I missing something with my Publisher?? I thought I might get a reply when the U.S. were awake, good job I am a night person!!

Hi Ed,
Now I really am confused!! Useing your instructions; insert gives me Design Gallery object..., the choices are then object by category; by design; or by your choices, I cannot see any Microsoft Draw, and I have to say I do not have a clue what IIRC is... I know I must sound really dumb about this, I just need someone to help me in terms I can understand how to do this!! regards Jo -----Original Message----- A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look!

This is how you do it, insert, New Drawing, draw the oval in the drawing canvas,
click fill, click fill effects, picture tab, browse to your image. In 2000 you have to this through the "New Drawing" dialogue. -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Jo Jordan" wrote in message ...
