Coloring Book printout

[Opsimath]

Am I able to take an image in Publisher and print it in outline form
as a coloring book page for children? Thank you.

I don't see why not...
There are many coloring books and pages on the Office template web site

================================
Some image editing programs have
options for outlining photos.

The freeware IrfanView may be worth a try.

After you download and install IrfanView...
open a photo in IrfanView and go to...

Image / Convert To Grayscale

Image / Effects / Edge Detection

Image / Negative

Image / Auto Adjust Colors

Now...go to...File / Save As...

Choose a folder

Enter a name

Choose a format

Save

FWIW...if you go to...Image / Effects / Effects Browser...
you'll find more options to experiment with.

Thank you, but that's not what I had in mind. I have a group of 7
year olds. When I finish a subject, I would like to give them a page
to color, a page related to the talk. What I need is software to take
an image or photo of mine and let me print it out as a series of
outlines - coloring book style. I did that many years ago and thought
it was by using Publisher. But now I cannnot find a way to do it with
that program.

There are many black and white images on the Office web site. You also can
ungroup images and change the colors.

You're welcome.

You'll find it much easier to do than it is to explain.
