INSERTING AUTO SHAPES

[June]

How do I insert an autoshape with getting a box that says create your own around it. We just switched from 7.0 to 9.0. I have been inserting these pics for 6 years on 7.0. But don't understand why I am getting that box. I am trying to insert a Smile face or heart and I know how to fill it. I don't want that box around it just the autoshape. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. This is a new computer and my daughter has the microsoft disc that I use to insert in the old computer. I do get the autoshapes. But it is not letting me get it without the box around it. Thank you for your help.

To turn the box off (it is called a Canvas in the new version)

1. Select Tool
2. Select Option
3. Click on the General Car
4. Click on "Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting Autoshapes

This will remove the box.
