Can anyone help me - PHOTOSHOP!!!!

[PinkyBurgerhead]

Hi! I am a PS novice but trying my hardest to cut out a picture (so there's no white around it anymore) - which I have done...

...and then pasting it into a word doc. i.e. I want my picture not to be square, but so far, I cut out the pic (check) but then save/copy/paste and it ends up back as a square in word...

any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Thank you!!!

Anyone???
:(

you there?
I can take you through it

obviously not, but just in case you come back....
open your image
using the magic wand select all your white background
go to select ... inverse
then Edit copy
then paste direct into your word doc.
Does that work?

I don't think that word, as a default, deals with picture shapes other than square by itself.

But there is a way....

Paste the photo into word, right click it, select "Text Wrapping" and then "Tight".

Then right click the photo again and select "Edit Wrap Points".

That should bring up a box with some corner dots around the photo. You can move those dots and the red lines will shift, the text will wrap around those red lines. If you click on a red line you can add a new point that you can drag. You might need to do that a few times to deal with your image shape but you get a very fine degree of control over exactly how the text wraps around the image.

What is happening is that Word is making the text wrap around the red box/shape and ignoring the actual image itself.

Thank you for your answers!!!

Ingles, nope, it still goes in with square white backround! Argh!!!

BP, thanks for that, I am trying to get the page colour to show through and it doesn't seem to be affected by wrapping.

Two top tips that I'm sure to use in the future, though, thank you both!

Done it!

(using PS and not word at all....!!!!)

Thanks for the support!
