Changing picture styles....

[navyad]

Hi so i'm taking a class on office 2007 for windows, and i have office 2004. My prof said if fonts and such are a little different, no big deal. In this first project i have to put a picture in and make it bevel rectangle picture style. Except i cant find that anywhere in my word. Its very possible im somehow missing it, but its also possible that i cant do that...which would be sillyness! I did see i can make it an oval...but thats all i seem to be able to do. Please help, can i even do that or am i going to have to either buy office 2008 or do all my work at the school (which would not be cool)
Thanks!!!

These Quick Styles which you can apply to pictures are only available in
Word 2008. It is a new feature based on the new graphics engine in Office
and was only introduced last year in Office 2007 on the Windows platform.
You *could* re-create some of the effects in Word 2004, but that would be so
much trouble that buying Word 2008 seems indeed the better option if you
intend to use this feature on a regular basis. There are other advantages as
well, including support for the new Office Open XML file format, which is
the default file format in Office 2007.

Just for now, I think I would take the option of doing all your work at the
School.

Office 2004 does not have some of the features you may need, but Office 2008
doesn't improve much on that. If the course gets into power-user features
of Word 2007, Word 2008 doesn't have them either.

I strongly suggest that you complete the course in Word 2007, then you can
decide what you need, and try Word 2008 to see if it offers you anything you
intend to use

Hope this helps
