Hints for making changes to graphics

you must have the graphic selected before you can make any changes to it
if you are using Word 2000 or later you need to have the Picture toolbar open


select Edit Wrap points or Tight


now go to Draw - Ungroup
you may see a few Handles or you may see thousands

if there are a lot you might need to change your mind about using that graphic as it is going to take a long time to make changes
making your page view bigger helps when you are re-colouring and re-grouping
you might find that the graphic looks better without some of the parts, you don't have to use all of the parts
to regroup the graphic, click on the White arrow in the Draw toolbar

imagine the graphic is in a box, click at the top left hand of the box and drag on a diagonal to the bottom right of the box. The graphic will appear with lots of handles
go to Draw -Group
your graphic will now move as one whole graphic again
