Paul, It is the dog icon on the picture toolbar. It is the same as what you are
use to in 2000. It is simply presented differently. If the picture toolbar is
not open, right-click the format toolbar, check the picture toolbar. Drag it to
the bottom of the work area.
Did you ever create a new drawing in Publisher 2000? All the picture tools were
available when you inserted a picture into the canvas, in 2007 this step is
automatic.
