Am I the only person who does their photo editing in another program and
then imports it into Publisher?

NO you're not. I use Excel to edit my images...nyuk nyuk.
Seriously, I use PS...and very rarely maybe sometimes will use Pub to adjust
the size of something if I'm too lazy.

Elements huh... funny I would thought you'd be full blown PS'er.
I've been messing with Acrylic the past week...interesting.
You wanna try a cool vector graphics program? If you haven't already, give
Xara X1 a spin.

Actually you are not the only one. I have done many LO's with photos, but
never had the option of the shapes like this post has shown. -- THANKS!!

Thanks to all who responded. I'd forgotten about the Fill!

Since I'm a poor home-body doing stuff for himself on a "new powerful"
Pentium 166MMX on Win98Se, I tend to use free downloads for my programs
until I can afford to splurge for a "real" program. Right now, I'm saving
up for a "real" computer! In the meantime, I'm using IrfanView to adjust
photos, and I don't think it gives me the option to create a round or oval
picture.

Can I import a photo into a circle in Publisher 2000?

Round and oval are just illusions all images are rectangular or square.
IrFanview is an incredibly powerful tool, but it's not a full image editor.


I still have a working 286 with DOS 6.0 on it, I cant seem to through stuff
away that works. It's not my everyday machine though :)

Of course, if you did create an oval image, it would be a rectangle with
transparency in the shape of an oval. Which leads to you running into the
notorious Office Transparency Bug.

So it's probably easiest to use the drawing tools.
I still have a working 286 with DOS 6.0 on it, I cant seem to through

I would love a 286. I'd prefer an Amiga 4000, though. Or a RISC PC 700.
Or pretty much any non-IBM-PC-Clone antique architecture.

Too bad you are so far away, I have a real nifty AppleIIe I would give to you... plus
software. One of our old Apple games just sold on eBay for almost a thousand dollars.
I must get myself an eBay account!

Can you share a bit more about this, please? Or drop-kick me in the right

I have a garage full of junk...TRS-80 with a wopping 64K and two
floopies!...I even have RS's stupid laptop...howabout one of those Compaq's
that looked like a portable sewing machine with orange crt? Yeppers... El
Robo's Puter Museum! Yesterday I found Netscape 1.0 in factory sealed
package. Pack Rat Syndrome..it's feature not a disease.

Images featuring semitransparency or alpha layer transparency imported into
Publisher do not always retain their transparency when printed, if at all.
Gradients containing transparency, and sometimes single-colour fills
containing transparency, do not always retain their transparency when
printed.

Ed

Since I didn't understand all of that, I'm going to assume that so far I've
never run into it. When I have an image that prints a strange background,
I'll dig a bit deeper.

Thank you.
Ed
