Inserting Pictures into a table

[Rosy]

We recently upgraded from 2000 to 2003 and have noticed something weird
and very annoying! We have a template that we use that consists of a
table that automatically downsizes pictures to 4x6 (they are 1024x768)
we have been using this for years and suddenly with this upgrade all of
our pictures insert at 2x3. I have tried recreating the template from
scratch in Word2003, but it didn't help. We have to use a photo
program to make the pictures huge (1500x1500)so that when they are
inserted they are 4x6. Is there a setting in this new version that is
causing pics in tables to be resized to 2x3? What's the deal???
Thanks.

Karen,

I do not have Word 2003, but I have Word 2002. I can't imagine that Word
2003 would resize your picture because it fits has to fit it into a
table. Have you tried to look at the table properties? Do you think that
the template tables have some kind of set up where it automatically
shrink your pictures? I know that in Word 2002, all tables have the
Autofit features and whenever you insert anything into those tables, it
automatically resize.
