Indeed, Word isn't an appropriate tool for what you want to do. My suggestion would be to open the picture file in a graphics editor, outside of Word, particularly one that offers an adjustable "gamma correction". A popular program is the free IrfanView (www.irfanview.com), in which the gamma correction is in the Image Enhance Colors dialog. The gamma correction adjusts both the contrast and the brightness at the same time, and is easier to use than trying to adjust them separately. Adjust the picture in the graphics editor, save the file, and only then import it into Word -- or just print it from the graphics editor. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
