about computer usage
 
Dear All,
 
I would like to ask two questions about computer usage. Can somebody answer me?
 
1. Is there a way to change the background color of a picture to the one we chose for a table? when I put a picture in the table for which I chose a different color from the pictures � bakground, the background color of picture stands out and looks distracting.
2. There are some worksheets. When I click on them the page moves as a whole with all the tables and pictures on it. If one wants to delete a picture, for example, all things are deleted. I have already asked one of the members and received a kind answer. Yet, I couldn �t manage it. I grouped all things into a text box but the result didn �t change. Can you help me, please?
 
Thanks for your valuable time.

HI!
Not sure I �ll be able to help, but I �ll try.
1. in the newer versions of Office there is an option to recolor the background in the toolbars - when you click on recolor, your mouse pointer becomes like a brush and when you click on the pic �s background with it, the pic �s background becomes transparent. If you don �t have that, the only thing you can do is choose clipart with transparent background
2. I think this is what happens when you make a table without first going down with enter - you have to be able to click on the paper surface under the table and move with enter, without  having the mouse pointer stuck in the table and moving everything together - a friend of mine often made that mistake by putting a table across one page without first opening another, so when she got to the bottom of the 1st one and pressed enter, everything moved together

Hi Deryadeniz,

The answer to your 2nd question.
If you use Word2007, click on the picture in the document, go to Picture tools - Format. Look for Group tab, click on it and select Ungroup. Then you should be able to move or delete any picture.
I agree with Anita about your 1st question.
