I am adding photos to a page and would like to make them into different
shapes, such as round, oval, etc. I have been unable to do so and would
appreciate any advice anyone can provide. I just need the photo to fill the
oval....nothing on the outside.

Thanks

1. Display the Drawing toolbar.

2. Select the Oval tool on the toolbar and insert an oval AutoShape. To make
a circle, press Shift while drawing the oval, but make sure that the aspect
ratio (ratio of height to width) is the same as that for your photo (or crop
the photo to the desired aspect ratio in an external graphics editor).

3. With the AutoShape selected, click the arrow beside the Fill Color button
on the Drawing toolbar and select Fill Effects...

4. Choose the Picture tab, click Select Picture..., browse to your photo,
and Insert, OK.

How can this process be modified to cover a cube entirely? And, cover each
face of the cube with a photo or text oriented to fit the view angle or by
choice?

To do this convincingly, you need an illustration program.
