Hi Jiri,
I'm sure Robert will be along to add the link shortly to the macro he mentioned in the prior message
I started this message
below very late at night so it may need some clarification later <g>.
Word 2007 has different rules than prior versions for handling graphics sizing. I've been told that it was what they meant to do,
to solve some complaints about 'confusion' on sizing in the past, but it's not entirely clear that the implementation succeeded as
well as the idea
If you right click on the picture you inserted and choose "size"what does it show at the bottom of the dialog for the 'original
size' and for percent reduction?
(The reset button should 'grow it' back to that size if it's different than what you currently have), as should the 'Reset Picture'
button on the Picture Tools=>Format tab in the 'Adjust group' (when a picture is selected).
What file format was the picture saved in and what app and version did you use to create it?
If the picture includes an embedded graphic size in Pixels per Inch (PPI) (JPG for example has that ability, GIF does not) then
Word tries to honor that. If not, since pixels don't have a 'size' of their own, Word scales the inserted/pasted picture, but does
it differently in Word 2007 than it did in Word 2000, 2002 and 2003. In those earlier versions, if the graphic did not have an
embedded PPI value Word woudl use the setting in
Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options.
In Word 2007 the settings are still available, under
File Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>General=>Web Options
but Word ignores the Picture pixel per inch settings and defaults to 96 Pixels per inch (screen resolution)
In Word 2007 the result can vary by the view you're in when inserting the graphic.
If, for example, you insert the graphic while in Web Layout view Word will accept the whole thing based on 'pixel size' as long as
it calculates that size to be under 22" in each direction (Word's maximum printed page size).
If, in Word 2007, you insert it in Print layout view Word tries to fit oversized pictures within the margin boundaries (page, text
box, frame, or drawing canvas, even, (at least on Insert into a 'page' for pictures not text wrapped as inline with text it tries
to not float things past the margins now.
If your picture extends beyond the margins in Print Layout view, select it, cut it and then paste it back and Word 2007 will likely
try to 'resize' it to fit the page margins.
If you're not sure if your graphic has them you can use a program such as
http://irfanview.com, open the graphic and look at the
picture information screen for DPI, or you can open MS Office Picture Manager to look at the properties of your pictures. JPEGs
with no internal PPI setting are reported at 96PPI, but basically the value reported in Picture Manager picture Properties [More
settings] are what Word 2007 is using as a 'sizing figurerouter' tool.
To get the legacy (prior version rules), you can use
Insert=>Shapes=>New Drawing Canvas
and then Insert a picture in the canvas.
First legacy choice - Use the Pixel per inch detail stored in the actual graphic.
Limitation on first legacy choice - If the picture would be bigger than the boundaries of its container (page, text box, drawing
canvas, etc) then the inserted picture's stored settings for Pixel per Inch are overriden by the size limits of the container.
Second/fallback choice - If
if there are no PPI settings in the picture Word uses the Web Options=>Pictures=>Pixels per inch setting, not the default 96PPI,
unless the picture is bigger than the canvas size.
Table cells - Iceberg rules: If you insert a picture in a text box, the picture would usuallyshould be limited to the size of the
text box, but if you insert it in a table cell Word resizes based on the document margins (it's sort of in-but-under the table at
the same time). You can, for example see in the Word properties for a graphic that Word believes (and shows in the picture
properties) that the graphic is sized based on the page margin, not the table cell, but all you might see is the part visible in the
text box, which would usually be smaller.
=================
Hi Robert,
exactly. The result is same in both cases - when I will insert it by Insert
- Picture and CTRL+C and CTRL+V. In both cases - source is OK, result in Word
- too small.
About pixels/HeightAndWidth - it was just example. The same with ration 3:2.
Ok, now I probably found where is the problem. When I insert the picture
into MS Word, so the height, width is the same like original.
So, is it possible to increase it be default during inserting?
Regards, Jiri >>
