Default Insert image does not retain Image quality

The difference in appearance is probably due to a mismatch between the image dimensions and the scaling used to show it in Word.
Unless it's for on-screen use only, what really matters is whether the printed output is of sufficient quality.

Hello,
I have tried inserting a jpg, gif, and bmp into a Word doc (via Insert/
Image) and they all look worse than the original when viewed side by
side on my monitor.


Anything I can do about this?


What format does Word use to store inserted images?


Thanks



This is mostly for on-screen.
Can you point me to something that explains how Word scales/handles
pasting images?

I played w/ it for an hour by copying images from various sources and
pasting them into Word as pictures, but saw no rhyme or reason to how
it works.

Thanks
