Autoshapes??

[Steve]

Hi...

Can new autoshapes be downloaded (from who knows where) and added into
Publisher (or any other Office App)?? How about creating Autoshapes from
scratch or a JPG or whatever?? What App/tool would build/convert??

Thanks in advance,
Steve

You mean add it to the options of shapes? I really doubt it. Why not just
create one from scratch and then save that file so you can copy and paste.

Well I would like to take some of "external graphics"... like a logo, a bmp
I made/downloaded, a jpg from my camera or even some clipart from Art
Explosion into the choices of "Autoshapes".

Right now, I'm making a phone directory for the gated-community I live in...
and their logo is a golfer-swinging. I'd like to take something like the
outline of the county... make it an AutoShape... then FORMAT AUTOSHAPE,
COLOR, FILL EFFECTS, PICTURE and slip in the golfer logo.

You can't add it to the AutoShapes, but you could:

1) Trace it in a draw program, drop it into Publisher (as an EMF file),
ungroup it to a Microsoft Office Drawing, then fill it just as you would
an AutoShape.

2) Trace it in Publisher using the Scribble, Freeform, or Curve
AutoShapes and fill that.
