Hi, say for example i wanted to create the shape of an animal for example a
squirrel and then i wanted to fill it with a clip art picture, how would i do
this. i'm using publisher 2003 , i also have frontpage 2003 and photoshop on
this pc too.

any help would be appreciated, i'm a newbie when it comes to design.

Thanks Rina

This is not the easiest thing to do, create your squirrel, when you are finished,
click fill, click fill effects, picture tab, browse to your squirrel picture. Be
aware the picture may not fit. The secret, if there is a secret, is to have your
drawn shape the same size as the inserted picture. You can edit the points,
right-click the shape, click edit points. You can delete points, add points, curve
the points or make them straight by putting your cursor on a point and
right-clicking.
