Change shape of rectangular photo
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 |

Change shape of rectangular photo
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. -- Suzanne S.

Change shape of rectangular photo to cover a cube
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? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 1. Display the Drawing toolbar. 2.

Change shape of rectangular photo to cover a cube
To do this convincingly, you need an illustration program.
