SUMMARY
In Microsoft Publisher, creating a single graphic image file from a multiple image BorderArt frame is possible by using BorderArt.



MORE INFORMATION
To create a single graphic metafile using a BorderArt design, follow these steps:  Create a blank publication. On the View menu, point to Zoom, and click any zoom percentage greater than 200%.

NOTE: Changing the zoom will make the drawing appear larger on the screen, making it easier to work with. Click and drag a box on the work area. The box should be no larger than 1/8-inch square. Click the Rectangle button on the left toolbar. On the Format menu, point to Line/Border style, and then click More Styles. In the Border Style dialog box, do the following:  Click the BorderArt tab. In the Available Borders list, click Balloons...Hot Air. Click OK.</li></ol> </li> Using the Zoom feature on the bottom toolbar, click the plus (+) button until the Zoom box reaches 400 percent.

NOTE: The single balloon graphic now appears in place of the small box with the resizing handles occupying portions of the foreground and background. If you drag the resizing handle of the box to make the box a larger size, additional balloons are added to the border. Making the box larger increase the area so that you can add more BorderArt objects.</li> On the Edit menu, click Cut.</li> On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.</li> In the Paste Special dialog box, click Picture, and then click OK.</li> On the File menu, click Save As. Give the file a name and click OK.</li></ol>

After you save the file, you can reopen it, resize it, and then use a copy and paste operation to paste the object in another publication or another Windows- based application.
