size of gif file

[Bruce Despain]

When I save a page as a .gif image in Visio2003, the size keeps scaling to
the size of the monitor that I'm using no matter which of the three options I
select (screen, source, custom). What am I doing wrong? Is there a
workaround to avoid the different results I get on the 17" vs. the 19"
monitor?

Hi Bruce,

What are you using to view the .gif's? I assume they are not "scaling to the
size of the monitor" inside of Visio (??)

Chris,
Thanks for your concern. I view it with MS Internet Explorer on both
monitors. It seems to be the right measurement when created using Visio on
the 17" monitor, but when I create it using Visio on the 19" monitor it comes
out larger. I don't want them to scale to the size of the monitor so I
tried using "source" and even "custom" but get the same results -- different
scaling. I kind of expected that the 12pt text of Visio would be comparable
to the 12pt text of MS Internet Explorer (the source is HTML)
