Good for you Keith. One of my best correspondents is well into his eighties. He
lives in England.

Thank for all your help Mary,
I know that there is a lot you can do with Publisher drawing tools.
My problem is that I'm almost eighty and time is running out.
My particular interest in Publisher drawing is for something to do.

Thanks Mary.
Complicated, but I managed to clear everything, then edit it to just leave
a
black outline of the star.
Put your reply into my Word/Tips/Publisher folder for future reference.
Now all I have to do is design my roundabout.

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,

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.
