Publisher 2000 edit clipart problem?

[Betty]

In a previous version of Publisher there was a way of
cropping clipart in wrap boundries. The only cropping I
can find on MSPub2000 is horiz and vert. In help I found
instructions for adding/deleting handles:
--------------------
Add or delete Adjust handles so you can change the shape
of a picture's outline
1. Select the picture.
2. On the outline of the picture, position the mouse
pointer where you want to add the new handle.
3. Hold down CTRL and then click where you want to add a
new handle.
4. Note: To delete a handle, hold down CTRL+SHIFT and
click the handle.
-----------------
When I follow these instructions, I get the Add Arrow,
but the only thing that happens is the clipart duplicates
itself. On the MS website there was a correction for this
which eliminates part of step 3 (Hold down CTRL)... I
don't get any Add Arrow and the picture is unselected.

I really miss the option of having wrap boundries to edit
pictures, and feel there still must be some way to do
this in MS2000, but need assistance in finding it.

Thank you.

Open the picture toolbar, select your image, click the "doggy" icon, click edit wrap
points. You don't need to hold down ctrl, simply by clicking on where you want a
control point it will happen.

Thank you so much. Isn't it simple when you know what to
do! Mixed feelings -- very relieved and a little
foolish. Just wish the HELP menu would have been
more "helpful." Thanks again.
