Other than cropping, I was able to use edit wrap points to edit pictures to get just a portion of the object. How does this work in Publisher 2013?

Unless the freehand shape is an option, the function has not evolved well. **In previous versions, the portion of the image outside of the wrap points was not visible.**This is a function I use daily and will have to find an alternative now.
In addition to JimenezOlga's answer the cropping function in Pub 2013 has evolved.

This is very discouraging. I have wasted hours on this issue, trying to figure out why I could not get it to work. Now I find that it's a bug in the program that MS has not addressed in 18 months. I wish I had known, I would have found a copy of 2010 and saved myself a lot of grief.
I agree -- Really doesn't do what is needed in its current form.
Glad I found this forum before I spent hours & hours on this. I just upgraded to Office 365 and had been using PUB 2010. I also use the Edit Wrap Points feature quite a bit. So, to join the crusade, I just called that 800 # that someone had provided, and, after being transferred two times and speaking with 3 different individuals and providing the Bug #, I am nowhere. I was simply told that IF there are any improvements, my software will be automatically upgraded. I will use my 2010 Pub to save my pics as a "pic" then insert them into my 2013 file. However, doing it this way still does not trim away the (now invisible) excess, so any other text boxes touching the pic still have to be manipulated to accommodate my larger-than-needed pics! Seems like Microsoft just doesn't care....
