Resizing a small picture is extremely SLOW (Word 2007)
Hi,
I have Word 2003 and Word 2007 installed on two different Windows XP machines. If I resize a picture both Word 2003 and Word 2007 behave the same i.e. You grab the corner of the image with the mouse and either drag it out to expand, or drag it in to make smaller. (A dotted line box shows and is dragged to the appropriate size, and then when you release the mouse the new image is rendered once only to the new dimensions). Now here is the problem. I am trying to access Word 2007 installed on a Server 2008 system over Microsoft Web Apps. This configuration does not give me the 'little dotted grey box' but instead tries to scale the picture in 'real time' which of course makes a monkey out of terminal services (Up to twenty seconds just to rescale a tiny picture - You can see it trying to display it over and over again). Five seconds over a high speed LAN! Now I suppose I have got two questions for you: 1/ Is this 'real time image scaling' something new with Aero, Vista, Server 2008 etc? 2/ How can I switch it off? Suggestions appreciated! Many thanks, Stef |
