First this is a very simple thing to do in PSP 7
the meaning for cropping is to GET Rid of an area that you don't need anymore
Tips: When using the crop tool whatever in INSDIE the box remains the other will be deleted/cut away
The more you use this tool the more you will love it, it makes resizing easier also
When you click on the crop tool you then click on your image then make a box around what ever area that you are wanting to keep: example if you want to keep you name then MAKE sure your name is inside the box;
you just use your mouse to move the crop tool around,
practice this on something that you don't care about and you will get the feel of what this tool does ok
I have added a screen shot for an example:
I hope this helps got any more questions please ask
