How do I create a 3D effect with a photo

[Ali C]

I have tried to fill a cube from autoshape with a photo but the photo doesnt
appear on th edges only on the front, how do I fill the whole cube to create
a 3D effect
please

A workaround, I don't know if this is suitable for your needs.

Select your 3D cube, copy, paste special as a Windows Metafile. Select the new
object, arrange, ungroup. Click yes to the query. You will have to ungroup again
by clicking the icon. Delete the transparent background. Fill each segment with
your picture.

very well Thankyou again

Not sure I know what you mean, Crash... Fill, fill effects, picture tab. The
poster was already filling the shape with a picture so I didn't include the way
to the picture fill.

Are you a Expression MVP person? Do you have a web site using Expression? One of
these days I will have to convert my FrontPage web sites to Expression web
sites. I don't think I can break myself from using tables.

I meant it wasn't an intuitive place to find it...in the Fill | Color | drop
down.

Yah just got my secret decoder ring ! I'm in process of learning Expression
and converting my webs from FP generated ones too, which seems overwhelming
at first.

I've been playing with Expression as well. Most of my work is still done
with FP tho - especially when I can't find what I want in EW.
