Firstly inserting graphics: Go Insert-> Picture -> From file This will open a dialog where you can navigate to the file's location. Once you choose the file you want, there are many options about the size, borders, wrap etc. To edit these, just right click on the picture. There is also a gallery function which you can access via the "Tools" menu. If you want to add the Insert Picture icon to your toolbar: click on the down arrow at the end of the main toolbar- you have to have a document of some sort open (even a blank one will do). The main toolbar is the first one below the File- Edit etc. menu items. Select Customise toolbar. Then click the "Toolbar" tab. Underneath this you can choose several toolbars in a drop-down list. Choose "Standard" You will get a list of possible things that can be added to the toolbar. You want "From File" (not very intuitive)- it's about 2/3 down the list. Put a tick in the box next to it and it will appear on the toolbar. Pretty borders. These are limited to variations on a straight line, but you can choose the colour you want. Go Format-> Page and select the Borders option. If you want more than that, you will have to find one in a graphic format, size it to the page and select "Wrap Through" (I think it is) so that the text goes through the picture. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
