»Description of Solution
Solution:
There are a couple of ways to create your own symbols. First; you can import or paste images from another source (the Internet; for instance). On the Macintosh; you can paste; insert; or drag and drop PICT; JPEG and GIF files into your Picture view document. In Windows; you can paste; insert; or drag and drop WMF; BMP; GIF and JPEG files into your Picture view document. The other way to make your own symbols would be to use the Symbol Maker. To use this; begin by clicking on either the symbol you wish to turn into your custom symbol; or on a blank space in the window where you want the new symbol to appear. Next; click on the Symbol Maker button on the far right side of the top toolbar. This will take you into the Symbol Maker; which has many tools for creating your own symbols. Once you have created a symbol you like; click the Done button to add it to your Picture view document.
