Hi Ed,

It doesn't sound like the Pixel per inch (PPI)
value is stored in the graphic, in which case
Word uses the value in Tools=Options=General
[Web Options]=Pictures.

1.92" @ 300PPI is 6" @96 PPI and 8" at 72PPI.

I have JPG pictures. According to MS Photo Editor (File, Properties), they
are 1.92 inches by 2.56 inches, in 24-Bit True Color at 300-pixel
resolution, and about 1.3 MB.

Using InsertPictureFrom File, the inserted picture balloons in the Word
doc at 75% - 4.5 x 6 - of a 6 x 8 size.

Why the size change? How can I keep them small? What's the best way to
handle inserting photos?
Ed
