Picture Insert to Shape

[Jan Il]

Hi all - PPT 2002, WinME

I am trying to insert a picture into a heart shape that will 'appear' in the
middle of a larger heart. But, no matter what I do, when I run the slide,
all it shows are tiled pictures, not just the one picture. What I have done
thus far is use the picture as a fill. Is there a better way that will let
just the one photo show?

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Jan, when you went to Fill Effects, did you click on the Picture tab or the
Texture tab? If you insert the image as a texture, it will tile. If you
insert it as a Picture, it will not tile.

Yeah....Texture....that's what I did. Ahmmm...guess that's why they call it
a Picture tab, huh. <sigh>

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it.

I remember because the first time I tried it, I did exactly the same thing.

Aha! Misery loves company.....or something like that. Bad enough is, the
way the face for the picture is posed, I've had an awful time trying to get
it situated so that the top center dip point of the heart does not look like
it is going up her nose!! 8-o

Hi Sonia

SONIA! I'ma gotta' 'nother one problem. I wanted to change the background
on two of the slides, and now....I can't see my Teddy Bear on one and I can
open either of them. When I click to try to edit the placement of the bear,
I can't get it to come into the screen so I can work on it. It just sits
there looking at me like..."What?" Now what did I do...???

I don't quite understand the question. What's your Teddy Bear got to do
with it? <G> Can you 'splain it in a bit mo' detail?
How did you insert the new background - - via Format > Background in Normal
view, or just a picture that you sent to back?

'k...w'll, my Teddy Bear is in the middle of the slide, and I have him
animated to do a few little things, then he finally sits, the text appears
in with its Entrance thingie st the bottom of the slide. It was doing fine
until I changed the background. Yes, I did it by the Format | Background,
and I used a background as the background, not a picture as the background,
that's in the Heart on the last slide and that is ok. I also changed the
background on the one before it, and now I can't get that one to enter
either. That one only has a text box that crawls up from the bottom and off
the top. The last slide is fine. When I tick on it, it comes into the screen
window just fine. I didn't change anything on it. But, I didn't change the
background or anything on the first one either, but, it won't open in the
slide window either. Only the last one will open in the window. Was it
because I changed the background that locked them out? I can see Teddy all
the other stuff on the slide at the left, but, they just won't open in the
window.

Hi Sonia

'k....I found the problem. See.....ahmm...somehow, I don't know when, but,
the view got set to 300%. So, actually, Teddy was still there, but, I just
could not see him, because the view was set to 300%, so all I could see was
the wall paper. I needed to make an adjustment to the last slide, which was
already open, and went to reset the view to 100% and I noticed it was set to
300%. So.....that is why I could not see Teddy or the text box. So, I
reset the view to 100% and clicked on the frame with the Teddy Bear and
there he was. But...yeah...it's ok now. I think.....

Thank you for the help.
