Re: Publisher eraser

Do this

Select the star, Arrange menu, ungroup, yes to the query, ungroup again (for
some reason Publisher makes you ungroup twice) (There should be an ungroup icon
on the bottom of the object).

Picture here of the ungroup icon, scroll down

Delete everything but the star outline. You can re-color the star and add a
line.

Sorry Mary, it's too complicated for me,
I went to the Clipart web site, found the Star but couldn't work out what to
do next.
In Publisher, when I went to Insert/Pictuer/Clip Art and did a Search for
'sy01688_'
I found the 'Star of David'
I inserted it into the page but couldn't, as you said, "Select the star,
ungroup, delete everything but the shape."
I clicked on the image but couldn't ungroup it.
To ungroup, according to Publisher Help:
<Select the grouped objects you want to ungroup.
In the lower-right corner of the selection box, click Ungroup>
The only way I can get the Group/Ungroup option is by creating a star using
two
'Basic Shapes' triangles. Holding down shift and selecting both triangles
brings up
this option.
What I'm really trying to do is to draw is a traffic intersection roundabout
with four
double lane roads entering it.

No, there isn't an eraser tool in Publisher. Download sy01688_ (don't forget
the underscore) from the clipart web site. Select the star, ungroup, delete

Is there an eraser tool in Publisher 2003, similar to the one in MS Paint?
An example would be to draw a star by drawing a triangle then placing an
inverted
triangle upon it, then remove the excess lines just to leave the outline of
the star.
