graphics & text
Hello
I am trying to create a 'poster' which combines some free clip art (from the web) and quite a lot of text (writen by me) mixed & mingled together. I hope to have text superimposed over some parts of the clip art. For example, I have a clipart of a man holding a poster & I want to insert text into the poster. I'm not clear what it will look like when finished, but I need to know how to start ? Should I use MS Word, and just insert pictures in & around the text.? Or should I start with a paint program and add the text, or what ? I am a bit confused on this & hope you can help. I need to know the best program to use. Thanks K |

How large will the poster be? Publisher is far superior in creating posters,
banners and other large publications. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "KRK" wrote in message ...

Although this can be done in Word, it will probably be easier in Publisher
if you have that. In Word, however, how you deal with the text and pictures will depend to some extent on the ratio between the two. If you have mostly pictures, make them inline and the text "floating"; if you have mostly text, make it inline and wrapped around the pictures. For the former, insert the pictures and place them as you would text, using paragraph alignment settings. Then insert a text box with No Line and No Fill and In Front of Text wrapping over the area where you want the text and type the text in it. For the latter, type the text, insert the pictures, and change their wrapping to Square or Tight. You'll still need text boxes (In Front of Text) to superimpose text on the graphics, but in this case you'll need to use the Order command to place the text box in front of the graphic (though it should be there by default if inserted after the graphic). -- Suzanne S.

Hi & thanks
The poster will be just A4, perhaps blown up to A3, but no bigger. K "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ... How large will the poster be?

If the sign the man is holding is at an angle then Publisher would be a better
choice. You could use WordArt in Word, you can angle WordArt. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "KRK" wrote in message ...
