@{u}@{b}Using vector with bitmap 
graphics@{ub}@{uu}

Wordworth allows you to import structured 
drawings, but many users either lack the software to 
create their own drawings or lack the clip art to use 
in their documents. But how many people have 
actually tried incorporating a structured drawing and 
bitmap picture together?   Try this example:

Convert the "Earth.iff" picture to grey scale. The 
picture is provided free with Wordworth.

Draw a picture frame using these co-ordinates in 
centimetres; Left 9.15, Top 14.20, Width 2.80, 
Height 2.80; Keep proportions; Colour 0 transparent; 
and load the "Earth.iff" picture.

Draw a structured drawing of a circle, over the Earth 
picture, at these co-ordinates in centimetres; Left 
9.12, Top 14.20, Diameter 2.75; Fill: transparent; 
Border: 20% grey; 2pt thickness.

The structured drawing of a circle will now overlap 
the Earth picture on screen and when it is printed. 
This will effectively hide the jagged edges and make 
the Earth picture look round. The colour and 
thickness of the circle will also make the Earth look 
as if it has a wonderful hazy atmosphere.

Now draw a text effect over the other two elements, 
at these co-ordinates in centimetres; Left 8.10, Top 
13.2, Width 4.80, Height 4.80; Type: circle; pre-
sets: none; Text "The European Tour - " (with spaces, 
but no quotation marks).

Group all of these elements together and copy them. 
Create a new document using the: 
@{" Monitor Newsletter " Link 
"TemplateSet1.Guide/T1.7"} template, and delete the 
middle top text frame (not the one for the reversed-
out text), now select paste and the graphic elements 
should drop perfectly in place providing you with 
another design for that template.
