Okay, so Auto shape is not the way forward.
Does anyone have any idea as too how I can do the following in word.
(I repeat from an earlier post)
I work with road maps very often.
The maps are scaled in 1:200 and I open them as pictures in word
documents.
I then draw (by hand) cars, busses, people and several other things on
the map.
It would really make my day a lot easier, if I could do this in word.
I tried auto shape, but apparently, this is not possible.
So how do I:
1. Can I create my own symbols (clip art, jpg, gif, bmp or whatever),
and use them from a drop down menu or something like it, or do I have
to keep the symbols in an other document, and then drag them onto my
map?
2. Is it possible to "lock" the symbols size so I won't
accidently stretch it (and loose the 1:200 scale), but still be able
to rotate it?
3. Is it possible to create a measuring device (a ruler, line or so),
enabling me to measure the distance between things on the map(given my
1:200 scale, and measured in meters)?
Cindy Meister took the time and helped me out on the auto shape issue
(which apparently was not possible), but I do believe, that it is
possible, using normal graphical objects such as clip art, jpg or
gifs.
Again, thanks a lot and a merry Christmas.

not work, sorry.
