Default Pictures as a "fill"

Okay, using WordArt, I can use my pictures as a "fill" but can't see my
subjects. How do you reposition your picture in such a way as to choose what
you want to show as the "fill"?

Default Pictures as a "fill"

Word doesn't have any way to control that. You should make a copy of the
original picture, and crop it so the subject you want to use is in the upper
left corner. Save the copy as a separate file, and use that for WordArt
fill. Unfortunately this will be a trial-and-error exercise.

Hey, thanks so much. I finally played around with it enough and got it to
work. You right, it was a "trial and error" excercise.
