pictures in table cells

[Dan]

I am using publisher 2003. I created a table in publisher that I want to add
pictures to. I need to be able to insert more rows into the table and I want
the pictures to move down with the rows. Is there any way to link a picture
with a cell or table row?

With your cursor in the cell, fill, fill effects, picture tab... you may have to
check the aspect.
If you add rows the picture will stay in the cell where you inserted it.

Thank you. I will try it tonight.

The picture tab is greyed out when I place my cursor in the cell and when I
select the picture.

With your cursor in the cell, Click the Fill menu, click Fill effects, click
Picture tab...

 

[Dan]

I don't see a fill menu. I found fill effects under the format menu.

I don't see a fill menu. I found fill effects under the format menu.

==============================
Try these steps...

Right click the cell you want a picture in.

From the menu...choose...Format Table /
Colors and Lines tab...

Open the Fill drop window and choose...
Fill Effects / Picture tab / Select Picture button...

Browse to the picture you want to insert and
double left click it. Check the box..."Lock Picture
Aspect Ratio" / OK / OK.

The picture will be cropped if it doesn't fit in
the cell. This could be corrected by cropping the
picture to the size of the cell before you import
it or by resizing the cell.

There is no picture tab under fill effects. Just Tint.

 

[Mary Sauer]

Try it this way:
With the cursor in the cell
Format menu
Table (the bottom entry)
Expand the Color drop down
Fill Effects
Picture tab

 

[Dan]

Under the picture tab I am looking at I only have Tint. Mary, I sent you an
email with screen shots.

Hello Dan,
I have just emailed you my response.

 

[Dan]

I may have stumbled across something that works.
First, you said to

"Right click the cell you want a picture in."......"Browse to the picture
you want to insert and
I am only able to do this when I click on an existing picture, not a cell.
The picture tab is now accessible.
So under the insert menu I inserted a new picture. Publisher threw it
somewhere on the page. I moved it the approximate areaThen I did the Table,
Format, fill.....Inline and it aligned itself with a row and moves with that
row.
So I am able to do it now. Just not the way I interpreted your directions.

Thank you,
