  • 4. changing the shadow color on page borders
    I a not sure you can so as a workaround, set your shading to white rather than 'No Fill'. Draw a rectangle the same size as your border and use Format Autoshape/Layout/Behind text to push it behind your text area and border and then move the rectangle to become your shadow in what ever diection you want it. Hope this helps. "gospeltruth" wrote: > I am a new word user. i need to change the shadow color on a page border. > help.

How add arrows and captions to a screen image?

Postby ZGF2aWQ » Wed, 26 May 2004 01:16:03 GMT

I did a screen print and copied it into Word. Now I need to add arrows pointing to parts of the screen image with explanatory notes for each arrow. How do I do that?

G'day "david" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,

You can use the Draw toolbar to insert callouts or arrow lines.
However, as Word can have problems getting these to display
consistently, for documents with many of these callouts, I prefer to
label the various sections of the screen shot using A B C or 1 2 3 and
refer to these in the adjacent documentation.

1.Add numbered arrows to image which will automatically renumber

I am putting a large number of screen shots into a Word document (2003) and 
would like to explain the features shown in each by using a numbered sequence 
of arrows pointing to the individual features. Using text boxes, I can put a 
letter or number on each arrow and using hyperlinks on the content of each 
text box I can enable 'jump to explanation text' in the main document. Nice. 
It would be even nicer if I could arrange for the numbers on the arrows to 
re-number automatically if I subsequently delete from or add to the sequence, 
as I anticipate that the screen shots may need to be changed frequently. Any 
ideas please?

2.adding captions to a graphic/image - starting number

I'm working with drawings and inserting graphics, I've tried inserting 
caption so that they're numbered. it works fine, but my question is, is it 
possible to indicate the starting number for the captions in one document, so 
that it follows the ones on a previous document, such as another chapter? 
Something like what you can do when giving pages number or inserting a 
reference. I hope there's something like that, although it may have to do 
with editing a field, and I have no idea how that is done.

I'm working with Word2002, by the way.
Thank you

3.Adding caption below image

Recently I needed to do this with 1.2.  I extended the canvas downwards, but
it was transparent, and I couldn't type into it, or make it opaque. 
Finally I saved the caption as an image, and pasted both picture and
caption onto a fresh blank image window.  That sounds to me more like a
workaround than a correct procedure.

I have now upgraded to Mandrake 10.1 with Gimp 2.0.  What is the correct
procedure?

4.Adding an arrow to an image

Using PSP8

Each time that I attempt to add an arrow to on image I get to the
selection of the type from the line style box and a pop up ask for
text.

So far I take the prepared image into Fireworks and complete my arrow
there.

I am confused. Can PSP add an arrow?

5.Adding a caption corrupts all of the previous captions

I am trying to write a long document with many charts and captions.  
Yesterday I inserted 8 charts with captions, and saved my doc.  Today I added 
a new chart, and a new caption.  

The caption should say "Fig 3-9"  (chapter 3, number 9; this is automated).
What it says is "Fig Error! Style not defined. -9"

It also changes ALL of the figure captions in my ENTIRE document to say the 
same.

Any suggestions?
