g'Day,

Whether you need it in the Header/Footer, or on the Page...
InsertPictureFrom File...
and insert your prepared Picture.

Now Right-Click the (inserted) Picture, and choose 'Format Picture'.

On the Layout tab, DO change the Wrapping style to something other
that 'In line with text' - for now I suggest 'Tight',
AND
Set the Horizontal alignment to suit
Use the Size tab to set the size
(Use the Colors and Lines tab to set a border)
Click OK
OR
Click OK
Drag the centre of the Picture to set the Position
Drag the corners to set the size
(If you drag the sides you can Flatten/Fatten the Picture).

While the Picture is selected (i.e. you can see the 'handles') you can
adjust the Position with the Arrow keys, and fine adjust with
CTRL+Arrow key(s).

Hello,

I would like to insert a picture into my header and footer (logo etc)
and have the ability to move it around.

A picture by itself is not movable in Word, so I first create a
text-area from the drawing options and then insert a picture into it.

Problem is, the picture is always resized! I have a regular 72 DPI
picture for the web and I would like it to be imported/inserted at
EXACTLY its original size.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Thanks Pat, I know how to resize a picture, but when I insert and then
resize by dragging the mouse, the resolution is all botched up. It is
not suitable for text images (logos and such).

So I would like to be able to import EXACTLY the size and dimensions of
the original image. Surely this should be possible?

Hi E.P.,

What graphic format are you using and how
are you inserting the picture into Word?

If the graphic does not contain a Pixel Per Inch (PPI)
setting embedded in the graphic (JPEG can store that
info, GIFs, for example do not and default to 96PPI)
the Word uses the value in Tools=Options=General=Web Options
as the Pixel per Inch value to determine the
display size of the graphics.
