insert picture in email comes out HUGE (not file size but actual p

[marihari]

I'm using Outlook 2000, with Word as email editor turned off, with html
turned on.

I am trying to put a jpg image in the message body...which I am able to do
(file-insert-etc.). However, it is placing the image so that it looks HUGE. I
have to scroll over and down to see all parts of it. The orginal jpg (created
in illustrator) is only 5x5. I thought I would just re-size by dragging the
handles (holding SHIFT), but the image gets distorted anyway (it ocntains
text, which then becomes random different sizes).

How can I get the image to appear in the correct size?

Also, for background, I started thisprocess with Word as email editor turned
on, and inserting a tiff into the email, but when I sent it (to myself as a
test) it lost a lot of resolution and developed gray shadowing around all the
words. With Word turned OFF, the picture comes thru just as crisp as can be,
but way too large.

Resize the picture using MS Picture Manager in Office tools. You might have
to install Picture Manager using your Office disk. It is not installed by
default.

THANK YOU!!! I spent a long time re-sizing in illustrator and photoshop, to
no effect (or at least not a desired one). Picture Manager worked. (I did
lose a tiny bit of resolution, but otherwise, OK).

I have a newfound respect for Picture Manager
