Drawing a round frame

  1. From the extended Toolbox, select the Ellipse tool. The mouse pointer now has a circle when you move it over the page or pasteboard.

To extend the Toolbox, click on the down arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the Toolbox.

  1. Position the frame cursor just below the bottom left-hand corner of the dark green frame.

  2. Press and hold down the left mouse button. The frame cursor changes to a crosshair.

  3. Drag the crosshair down and to the right, until it is immediately above the top right-hand corner of the bottom frame.

  4. Release the mouse button. A round frame with eight handles is drawn roughly in the middle of the page. Don’t worry about its exact size or position, you will change these in the next few sections.

Publisher ‘remembers’ the properties selected for the last frame and applies them to new frames created. If you want to clear a frame, click on the Clear Colour button at the far left-hand end of the colour bar.
