How to build a frame with a picture on the border using Word?
Hello
I desperately need help with this one. My wife wants to build a frame surrounded by a picture (gif picture). To do so, we need to cut and crop the figure so that it will fit to the four sides of the frame. We kind of got it but there is an annoying black line surrounding the whole frame. Questions: a) Is there an easy way to do it? We don't like what we did ... b) How can I get rid of the black line surrounding the whole frame? c) Is there any other tool besides the word that can do the job nice and clean? Many thanks Ed |

How to build a frame with a picture on the border using Word?
Have you tried selecting the frame and choosing None in Format | Borders and
Shading? Or, if this is actually a text box, Format Text Box: Colors and Lines: No Line. -- Suzanne S.

Hello Suzane
Many thanks. I tried that but the line doesn't go away. What would you (step by step) do to build a frame with a picture? Many thanks Ed Suzanne S.

How to build a frame with a picture on the border using Word?
I'm not clear what you're trying to do, but if you just want to have a
picture surrounding a rectangular area in which you can put text or something else. I'd just insert the picture and then put a text box (with solid fill) in front of it. -- Suzanne S.

How to build a frame with a picture on the border using Word?
Suzanne
Yes, I want to have a rectangular area where I will write some stuff sorrounded by a picture. The only problem is that I have to cut and paste part of the picture to build the four sides (the frame). Is there a way to put aside some area to just insert the picture on it.? Something like -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |__________________| | |_____________________ | Between the two rectangules goes the picture (I need to fill it in with several pieces of some picture - I need to rotate the pieces of the pciture where it is necessary.) and the text goes inside of innermost rectangule. The lines shown cannot be part of the printout. Many thanks Ed Suzanne S.

How to build a frame with a picture on the border using Word?
Okay, this is not a single picture that is behind the text. This is more
like border art? See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm. But no matter how you insert your picture or your text, you should be able to remove any borders by formatting the border as None or lines (applied to text boxes or AutoShapes) as No Line. -- Suzanne S.
