Cropping pictures into Circular shape
Hi,
May I know how do you crop pictures or images into circular shape *only using Microsoft Office - Word 2002*. I already know how to crop into rectangular or square shape. But I am curious to know how to crop into circular shape, can anyone help please? If this is not possible, then I suggest that Microsoft need to think about it. I already know that Microsoft rivals have this feature long time ago. I'll not discuss about this issue any further. Thanks Kind Regards Siva Raman |

Cropping pictures into Circular shape
Siva,
You can't crop into circular shape. What you can do is draw your circular shape, double click it, on the colors and lines tab, click the listarrow next to color, choose fill effects, click on picture tab, browse for your picture, click on insert, OK your way out. Does this help? -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Siva Raman" Siva schreef in bericht news Hi, May I know how do you crop pictures or images into circular shape *only using Microsoft Office - Word 2002*.

Cropping pictures into Circular shape
Thank you very much Luc! But that was *not* complete help although that is a
new procedure I have learnt... I understood that is quite a good idea but I want to have a specific part or area of picture to be inserted inside the circular shape without cropping the picture initially somewhere else and then filling the effects in the circle. This is very complicated to explain but I hope you understand what I meant, if not I will give an example after your reply. But if this is not possible then can you please announce this simple issue because Microsoft rivals are having this facility for a very long time and I hope they know that. I know I am saying this same thing many times...I am sorry but Help Me Help You. Anyway I will wait for your reply Siva Raman "Luc" wrote: Siva, You can't crop into circular shape.

Cropping pictures into Circular shape
Hi Siva,
As Luc mentioned the Word cropping tool works in straight lines only. You may be able to use Word's ability to modify the outline of a shape for text wrapping purposes, but it's fairly simple to 'undo' that, even by accident and would likely not give satisfactory results. If you can give an example of what you're trying to achieve and what word processing app you're using that allows circular cropping (and the steps there) it may be that there is another way than to use graphics software to do the reshaping before inserting the graphic into Word. ================== "Siva Raman" wrote in message ...

Cropping pictures into Circular shape
Hello Bob,
Very Sorry for not being kind but I want to know the facts (or truth), that's all and I am very curious on how Microsoft is developing/improving. I am only referring to Microsoft Office Word 2002. Can I ask you one question?: Since I do not use Mac, does Office Mac offer circular cropping tool? If I am being very annoying person, then please kick me out the discussion groups, so that I do not need to give anymore help/suggestions for Microsoft. Thanks in advance Kind Regards Siva Raman "CyberTaz" wrote: snip On 3/21/07 3:14 PM, in article , "Siva Raman" wrote: Microsoft rivals are having this facility for a very long time snip Please be so kind as to inform us: To what programs are you referring?
