Create custom fill shading style
Is it possible to add a custom graphic to the "Borders and Shading" -
"Shading" - "Patterns: Styles" pull-down menu? There are some built-ins like DK Horizontal, but I have a custom graphic that I would like to fill a table cell with. I can find nothing on how to do this. |

What you can do is add a text box to the cell, then Format Text Box Fill Color Fill Effects Picture. Then set the text box to Behind Text wrapping. It would be best to do this after all editing is complete, because the text box won't automatically resize with the table cell. If you do have to modify the text box after it's in place, you can use the selection arrow on the Drawing toolbar to get it selected. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Create custom fill shading style
Thanks. I saw that tip in some previous discussions. I have hundreds of
product flyers all with the same title format--a company graphic behind the text. I thought that I could add a "fill graphic" to the fill menu that would be convenient to apply to each one. The text box option is too labor intensive but I appreciate your quick reply. I will look for another way to do this.

In the case of a graphic, a text box is not necessary. You can insert the
graphic itself with wrapping set to Behind Text. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Riptide55" wrote in message ... Thanks.
