Is it possible to copy from a drawing package such as Superpaint or Mac Draw and paste into a MS Word document. I should think there would be a way but as a novice I have not been able to do so. What I have been trying is a boxed outline that would form a boarder around the MS Word page. Just to dress up the MS Word page alittle. Thanks for any tips, Craig -- Craig Lee Gruneberg [clg@cs.psu.edu]| 333 Whitmore Laboratory Penn State University | Department of Computer Science | Watch for Hubble repair University Park, PA 16802 | updates here....

Word treats graphics as single characters, so what you want to do (i.e. placing a border around a page cannot be done (at least trivially - maybe with absolute paragraph positioning, but that would be too cumbersome). On the other hand Word enebles you to place borders around paragraphs (that I am sure of - look at the paragraph menu item) and possibly around a page - try looking at the document menu item. I guess one way to do it would be to place a left and right border around ALL text paragraphs, a bottom border in the header and a top border in the footer, then carefully position the header and footer to make the box continuous.

You can enter graphics in word (pictures) but I'm not sure as a border. You can border paragraphs is Word. The way to border a whole page is to use "soft returns" (shift-return?) till the last line of the document. Select the paragraph and go into format paragrah-border. That should do it. -- Klaus via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!343!31!Klaus INET: Klaus@f31.n343.z1.FIDONET.ORG

First, go into the format document dialog box and type a negative number for your top margin. This will prevent the header text from causing your document to scroll down. Next, open the header window. Press Return and select both paragraphs in the header. In the paragraph dialog box, type a number equal to half the distance from the top to bottom border. IE, if you want a 10 inch border, type 5in. Then apply the appropriate border. Hope that helps!! Andy Blehm blehm@handel.cs.colostate.edu Colorado State University

Don't forget you can also code raw Postscript from within WORD, if you're brave.
