Non-proportional scaling of images...can it be done?
I'd like to use some images to create mini inline bar-graphs in my word
document. I was hoping I could paste in some 10px x 10px images and then scale them to represent the graph. Ie, one instance of the image might be 10px x 20px and another 10px x 3px. I can't seem to figure that out in Word 2007, though. Any attempt at resizing the height using the 'image toolbar ribbon' also proportionally scales the width. One other question...is there any way to change the units of measurement in the image scaling window? Pts. would be preferrable, or, ideally, ems so that the images scale properly with the text (though I'm probably asking too much for that last one...) -Darrel |

When you have the Format Picture tools displayed on the Ribbon, in the Size
Group click the little button in the lower right corner of the Group. Alternatively, rt-click the image & select Size from the contextual menu. Remove the check for Lock Aspect Ratio to enable resizing disproportionately. When you specify the size in points enter it as 10pt (or 10pi for Picas) & it will be accepted. Unfortunately ems & pixels aren't options. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "darrel" wrote in message ... I'd like to use some images to create mini inline bar-graphs in my word document.
