Hi
If you have 2007 select the image -> format -> picture shape -> triangle.
If you have pre-2007 draw a triangle -> right click -> format autoshape ->
clours & lines -> fill -> clour drop down -> fill effects -> picture ->
select picture. You can change the shape to a different one by selecting
change autoshape from the draw menu on the drawing toolbar.
