Part 5: Wedding with Word

Of course, your wedding newspaper should not only contain texts – as funny as they may be, so boringly looks a newspaper without pictures. So build a few pictures. As with any good newspaper, you place a large picture on the first page. While this is still quite easy with the command “Insert / Graphics”, we show you how you can compile pictures to a photo lovestory. In all of these steps, you will mainly use the Draw toolbar.


The photos in your photo-lovestory should all be in uniform frames. For example, select a rounded rectangle or heart. To do this, click the AutoForm menu item in the Drawing toolbar. In the following sub-menu under "Standard shapes", select the desired shape by mouse click.


Click the right mouse button to open the context menu and select the "Format AutoForm" entry.


In the following dialog, click on the "Color" field in the "Colors and Lines" tab. In the drop-down menu, select the "Fill effects" entry.


In the dialog of the same name, switch to the "Graphics" tab and click the "Select graphic" button. In the next dialog box, locate the desired graphic in the correct folder.


Confirm with "OK" to return to the "Format Autoform" dialog. This created mask is provided with a frame line after the default setting. To edit these, select the appropriate color in the Format AutoShape dialog box under Line in the Color box. Then, in the "Thickness" field, adjust the thickness of the line. Enter the value 3 here.


Click the "OK" button to fit the graphic into the car shape and add the frame.


In order for the frame to get the same size for the next photo and the same frame line, double the frame with the inserted picture with the command "Ctrl" + "D". Place the second frame next to the first and press the key combination again ("Ctrl" + "D"). Repeat the above steps to include other images.
