Default how can i find how many dpi a figure is?

Hi Chris,

For any images you've inserted into your document, go back to the
source and find its dimensions in pixels. Then divide that by the
dimensions in inches of the image as pasted & scaled in Word.

BTW, 1000dpi is a ridiculously high resolution - there's very few
people who could pick the difference between that and 600dpi for B/W
line art or 300dpi for a typical photo. And if the printer only
outputs at, say, 600dpi, anything more just adds to the file's bulk
without being printed. Vector graphics print at whatever resolution
the printer is capable of.

Cheers

I have a research paper and in order to be able to submit it to a
journal, the figures and the pictures that i used in the paper have
to be at least 1000dpi. how can i find how many dpi my figures and
pictures are?


Not an unusual requirement for fine printing processes. Printers set their
own requirements and they are often high. 1000dpi isn't that high a res as
printer requirements go.
