How do I blur /soften the edges of a photograph on publisher
I would like to blur or soften the edges of some of my photographs. My old Home Publisher used to do this as there was a "soften" option in the EDIT section. I have worked out how to use the fill effects to get a similar result but it doesn't seem to work on inserted photos or when I insert a photo into an auto shape. Any suggestions??

Home Publishing and Publisher are two different programs. You will need a photo editing program to do that.

Publisher 97 #5
I have Windows XP and installed my old version of Publisher 97 but it won't read all the pictures on the disk to add to a publication.
