Does anyone know how to insert a photo into a shaped box? Rounded corner, polygon, etc, other than the standard box shape...

I'm actually a graphic designer and my client wants to use Publisher to do some layouts.

Thanks much for any help -

 
Hello:

You can use the picture to "fill" any SmartShape - including a rounded rectangle. Draw a rounded rectangle that's the same size as the picture; then click the Fill Color tool, choose Fill Effects, click the picture tab, click Browse (I think) and select the picture; then click OK. The picture should fill the shape. To keep things in proportion make sure the shape has the same measurements as the picture (you'll have to check the picture's dimensions first).

Good luck,

Mark Scapicchio
