Can I create a custom fill in Word?

[kkuwait]

Is it possible to add to the 'fill' patterns in the 'Draw' capability of
MSWord?
For example, there is a diagonal 'brick' pattern, but no horizontal one. Can
I create one?

Look at Fill Color/Fill Effects/Pattern 6 across, 4 down

In MS Word 2000 -- it's 6 over .... 3 down

Keith / Kate,

Doh! I chose a bad example! Thanks for the replies, but I still need to know
if I can create a custom fill,
Regards,

I don't believe you can create your own customf ill. You can use Fill
Color/Fill Effects/Picture to fill in with any jpeg of your own making but
you might need to experiment with sizing - it could even be a photo of real
bricks! You can also create some designs witin Word and then, using one of
the many Word page to jpeg convertors, save your design page as a graphic and
use that
