I import in Word a PNG picture 0.34"H x 7"W. The Format Picture window/Size
tab shows the following: Size 0.34" x 7"; Lock aspect ratio & Relative to
original picture size boxes are checked; and yet the Scale is H=98% & W=100%,
which alters the pic size to 0.33 x 7". One would expect the Scale to be
H=100% and W=100%. There is an inconsistency here: on one hand Word tells you
that it honors the aspect ratio on another hand it refuses to interpret it as
100% in both dimensions, i.e. it distorts the image after all. I could simply
uncheck the Lock aspect ratio box and type in 100% in both H and W fields,
which causes the Size [and Rotate] field to match the original image size.
Yet, now I am not sure if for some reason when the pic is "forced" to its
original size, Word actually distorts it but, if allowing Word to "tweak" it,
it compensates for an unknown to me factor and actually presents it in a
truer manner. It may seem a small deviation but in graphic design a slight
logo distortion for example is inadmissible. Any revelations? Thanks!
