Hi Alberto,
You can add autoshapes to the document and group them
with the inserted drawing but they sometimes 'move'
when printing or converting to a web page.
In Word 2002 and 2003 you can use Insert=>Picture=>New Drawing
to place a drawing canvas into effect (in Word 97 and Word 2000
it's the MS Draw 98 add-in, for which you may need to use
Insert=>Object). The canvas gives you a 'collector' area
to keep the callouts, et al, in one workspace.
You can also use the Word Picture Editor, either through
Insert=>Object=>Microsoft Word Picture or by dragging the
command from Tools=>Customize=>Commands for 'Word Drawing'
to a menu or toolbar (Drawing category in the Commands list)
and then using that to open Word picture object or you can
also use Insert=>Object=>Microsoft Word document and have
the items in an included but separate Word document.
You can use Insert=>Picture or the clipboard or the
Clipgallery/ClipOrganizer while in any
of those editing fuctions to add graphics and also
autoshapes, such as callouts.
Using the drawing canvas will probably give you the smallest
file of the lot and lets you use the active connector
autoshapes.
=======
If I can't edit a bitmapped graphic (PNG, BMP) how can I add call outs, shapes or text to the Image itseflf instead of being a
floating image on top of the original graphic. I was able to perform this action by editing a graphic and making the changes on the
editor.
What can I do? <<
