Inserting graphics (JPEGS) into Word 2002

[Brenda]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Office XP. When I insert my pics into
the document they shrink. With MS Word 2000 they do not,
they stay their original size. Is there a setting in Word
2002 that needs to be changed? These are all jpeg images.

Hi Brenda,

I'm assuming that the graphics are not bigger than
the margins in your page or table cell (depending
on where you're inserting the picture) allow.

If the JPEG file has stored within it the Pixel per
inch settings (PPI) used to create the graphic then
Word should honor it. If there is no information stored
in the graphic then Word uses the PPI setting in
Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options=>[Pictures]

The setting location is the same in Word 2000 and
Word 2002, but in Word 2000 it didn't always work
consistently.

You can select an inserted graphic and use
Format=>Picture=>Size=>[Reset] on graphics that
do not have an internal PPI setting.

Hi Brenda,

You're using Insert=>Picture=>From File to insert
the same grahic into a blank Word document in both
Word 2000 and Word 2002 with the
settings in Tools=>Options=>General=>[Web Options]=>/Pictures\
set identically?

Using the graphic app from http://www.irfanview.com
if you click on Image=>Information on that graphic
does it show 72dpi in the 'resolution' box? If not,
then the resolution (pixels per inch) setting has
not been saved as part of the graphic.

If that's the case, add it in that dialog then
save the graphic under a new name (still as a JPEG)
to see if that changes the behavior on Insert=>Picture.

Sorry this did not work. I tried what you suggested. All
my settings are the same, the resolution of my jpegs are
72. Like I said they insert fine into MS Word 2000 (they
do not shrink)MS Word 2002 they shrink to a thumbnail
size Is there a number I can call for further help on
this? I really dont want to have to revert back to MS
2000. Thanks >>
