mask over images
If you want to use just part of a picture, first crop it to a rectangle with
the correct aspect ratio in an external graphics program, then use it as
fill for your ellipse.

Hi all,
I was wondering, is it possible in Word to create a "mask" to put over
an image? For example, I have a coversheet of a report, and on this
coversheet I need a picture to be inserted. But, only on a specific
part, shaped like an oval.
I can create an oval shape, and use a picture as fill-effect, but the
pucture gets distorted, and I don't want that to happen
I can create a partly transparant image with an external programm, and
use that image to be in front of my inserted picture.... Well, that's
the way I want it to look, but than I have to use an external program,
and I'm not as flexible as I want to be.
Does anybody know how to do this in Word?
Regards,
Bert
