Subject:Word 97 Not Keeping Graphic Size Format From:Debbie Warren <dwarren -at- DTECHS -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 3 Feb 1999 09:55:44 -0600
Will putting my graphics into frames solve my problem?
Here's my problem:
I have resized, linked .BMP graphics in my word document. When I scroll
through the document, Word often returns the graphics back to their original
size.
Here's what I've tried:
1) Reducing the size of the image in PhotoShop won't work because the text
gets blurry. I used Screen Thief to capture screens.
2) Creating a macro won't work because I cannot save the macro without
accepting all the settings on the screen. I want the macro to resize
proportionality according to the width. Although, word makes me save all the
size settings before stopping the macro recording.
I use word and .bmp files because they work easily with RoboHelp.
Suggestions anyone?
