Default inserting/editing shapes

Word is not a graphics application. If you have a steady hand you may be
able to trace around the map using the tools from the autoshapes palette;
but frankly with most hands it will be a lash-up. You may also be able to
write over the image, but for best results you need to edit the map in a
graphics package and insert the results into the document.

Is it possible in word 2007 to save the outline of a shape, and be
able to edit the inside...for example, I want to take a map of my
local area, insert it into word and keep the outline but edit the
inside.

I hope this makes sense!

Many thanks
