Many thanks

569574 2007-07-17 03:18:00 Do you mean how to insert a picture or graphic like this (www1.istockphoto.com) (just an example) into a Word document?:cool: wratterus (105)
569575 2007-07-17 03:25:00 Thanks - not as fancy as that - just a line type drawing that fits into the text line.
Bet it was colder here!

569576 2007-07-17 03:35:00 :lol: Your probably right.:cool:

To insert anything into a Word doc, simply go insert<picture<from file (or clipart, autoshape, whatever), browse to the file, and hit insert. (might be slightly different depending on what version of word your using)

To make the picture easier to move, and to fit the text around it, you'll want to change the text wrap settings so the picture is either 'tight' or 'behind text'.

569579 2007-07-17 03:42:00 This any help? (www.bristol.ac.uk) Any basic image editing software can crop that down so you can select individual keys... wratterus (105)
569580 2007-07-17 03:50:00 Thanks guys - had a look at all that - heaps of symbols but no key board ones - there must be an easier way than having to insert a mini picture each time? stuffed (1469)
569581 2007-07-17 03:52:00 There are actual fonts made up of keytop images. This font (www.byte-sized.com/software/keyboard/download.htm) might be free ... I found this link, and many others, with "keyboard font" to Google. Graham L (2)
