Crop a picture in Publisher 2007
Although Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 has some basic photo editing capabilities that allow you to crop a picture to a rectangular shape, it is not a photo editing program. However, there are ways to create a nonrectangular picture.
Note: You cannot crop an AutoShape, WordArt object, or animated GIF in your publication. To crop an animated GIF, use an animated GIF editing program, and then insert the file again.
