Basic Shapes
hi,
what problems are you having? the pricture should be on top of everything else. do the shape, then the heart, then the picture. you can right click each object and click order. you will see send to front(picture), send to back(shape) then lay the three over each other. shape in back heart in middle picture in front. because right now on my xl screen, i have a red square (which i got from the drawing menu) with a orange heart(clip art) and inside the heart i have a little puppy peeing on a laptop.(personal file). real cute. hope this helped regards FSt1 "jaybee" wrote: I want to import a picture into excel 2003, cover it with a basic shape, square, rectangle, or whatever, put a hart shape over the basic shape and be able to see the picture or part of it in the hart. -- Jay Bee |

You need to use the bezier tool (freeform builder) to draw a rectangle that is large enough to cover the left side of the picture. Right click the rectangle then select Edit Points and Add two extra points to the rectangle's right side. Position the first of these extra points where you want the heart's cusp to be. Position the second where you want the heart's pointed end to be. Use Edit Points to make these two points Corner Points, then adjust there handles so that you end up with a rectangle that has half of a heart shape cut out of its right side. Add the desired fill color and make the line color the same. Duplicate this shape, then horizontally flip the duplicate. Position the rectangle and its flipped duplicate so that their tops are aligned and their opposite sides (heart cut-out sides) are just touching. Group the two rectangles then adjust the order so that the group is covering the picture. Ken Johnson Ken Johnson |
