moving an image (not re-sizing)

[Gary C]

Have just started using publisher & have problem with using images. More
familiar with Quark & Adobe In Design. After creating picture box and
importing an image what I want to do is MOVE the image itself WITHIN the
picture box to place it where I want. Seemingly I cannot do this as the image
is constrained with the picture box and by moving the image the picture box
moves. Any ideas?
Many thanks, Gary

Use the Crop tool on the picture toolbar to crop off edges, and move the
picture (box) to the new location.

Publisher doesn't separate the concept of a picture and a picture frame;
the two are locked together.

crumbles. WIll ahve to do just do what you say. What a shame!

You don't need a picture frame. Insert your image and re-size it. If you want it
to fit a particular shape, create the shape, fill, fill effect, browse to the
picture. Depending on the image you might consider putting a check in the *Lock
picture aspect ratio*.

Are you trying to allow more space around the picture? For example, a half
inch on two sides and an inch on the other two?

No, not at all. Simply in Quark & InDesign, the actual image is not
constrained by the picture frame/box. Without moving the frame/box you can
move the image to the position required. I have gathered from Ed (previous
post) that this is not possible - the image is linked to the picture box so
one has to be more 'creative' in positioning. Best wishes, Gary

You could mimic that (if I understand what you mean correctly) by inserting
a text box first then put your graphic inside of that.
