Import them into table cells of fixed width
or
Import, select and run the following macro (with the 12 adjusted to taste)
from a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut

Sub MyWidth()
Selection.InlineShapes(1).Width = CentimetersToPoints(12)
End Sub

Further to Graham's response, if these truly are *photographs* [raster
images in JPEG, TIFF, etc. format] you're better off not scaling them in a
word processing program. Depending on the resolution & print dimensions
defined in the image file the result will quite likely be a pixilated,
chunky, blocky image or one that is striped or banded.

It's best to process a copy of the image for its intended purpose using a
decent image editing program. Then insert it so that it need not be scaled
much if at all in the document.
