Microsoft Word 2003 Standardizing Picture Size Question

[blpedder]

Hi,

I'm at work and need to insert pictures into a word document. I understand
how to insert the pictures themselves and how to resize them, but my question
is how do I set it so that each time I insert a photo, they are set at a
standard size? The photos are digital, so they are inserted at a large size
and I want to make it so that each time I enter a photo, it is already set to
be resized the correct amount (I think 30% would work).

A quick response would be lovely!

There is no stock feature in Word to enable that... Perhaps it can be
handled with VBA, but the best policy is to edit the images using a capable
graphics program first. Set them to the appropriate resolution, print
dimensions as well as any other editing required & save in an appropriate
image file format before they're inserted into the document.

FYI - shrinking raster images by 70% (even 1/2 that amount) in a program not
designed & equipped for the purpose most likely will deteriorate the
fidelity of the image - perhaps beyond recognition.

Clip Art & drawn shapes are a totally different type of graphic which
"stretch" very nicely, but photographs are a totally different matter.
