Image Sizes in Word

[Lee Harris]

Does anyone know why two images, both exactly the same pixel size would
appear very different when inserted into a word document. I don't know if
it's word somehow thinking they are different resolutions or something but
it is something that has caused me a few problems, I've had to manually
resize images which should be exactly the same size (all 100*80 pixels as
reported in Paint Shop Pro)
tks in advance

Another point I should have mentioned, when you do Insert->Image and
browse for it the little preview window shows the images up to be different,
ie one looks bigger than the other, despite them both being the same pixel
size of 100*80 pixels.

Hi Lee,

Are both of the graphics stored in the same file
format? Some file formats can store, inside the
graphic, pixel per inch count (a pixel has no set size)
while others, such as a .GIF cannot, in which case
the display size can be affected by the settings in
Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]=>Pictures for
Pixels per inch.

they are jpgs, and I did wonder if it was to do with the internal
resolution. I'll check, thanks Bob
