Isolating an image in a jpg file?

Using MS Publisher 2002 via XP Pro, I need to remove the white
background in .jpg files by adding 'points' all round the image
then dragging them as close as possible to the image itself.
Thus isolating it from the excess 'white' - if you see whatI mean?

Step by step if you'd be so kind?

Thank you.

First, search your Pub2002 help
file for "Crop".

Next...search your Pub2002 help
file for "Transparent".

If the info you find doesn't solve the
issue, you may need to use a digital
image editing program to create
a cutout and save it in the .gif format.

No, that isn't what I want.
As I explained, I'm looking to add 'Ponts'
to give me complete control.

I certainly was able to do this in earlier
MS Publisher programmes, but I've forgotten how or
even if it's possible in 2002

Thank you anyway.

John.

You are describing a method of making
a cutout that you may find in a digital
image editing program...not in Microsoft
Publisher.

You want to change the wrap points? Select the image, click the dog icon on the
picture toolbar, click edit wrap points.

Mary.
Very many thanks. It's exactly as
you said. The figure I selected re-acted to
your treatment by being surrounded by
dozens of "wrap points."

Only one small problem!

How do I retain the 'edited image'. I tried
"ENTER" and I had a stab at the "DOG"
but without success.

Please ease my frustration.

Thank you.

John,

Way-to-go Mary. I had no idea you could
do that in Publisher.

Thanks!

Once you have it wrapped the way you want, re-click the dog icon, click tight or
whatever wrap you want.
