OLE Problem - Repost

[Paul Hammond]

This picks up on an earlier post on how to Mail Merge OLE
objects from an Access Database. I tried this and got it
working after several tries. The only bug is the
pictures resize automatically causing distortion in my
letter which has to fit certain window positions on the
envelope.

Is there any way to have the pictures expand or contract
to fit a frame of some sort?

TIA

Hi Paul,

Try inserting the image into a single cell borderless table with fixed cell
dimensions.

Hi Paul,

My preference is to use a FRAME (from the Forms toolbar)
with an EXACT setting for the critical dimension (either
width or height). The picture should fit that, and the other
dimension resize proportionally.
