Re: Word resizes my pictures when I insert them - HELP!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Ok, I think I sort of figured this out, but I'd still love to know WHY.

If I take my original image in photoshop, set the dpi to 180, then
resample down to the size I want (i.e. 5" x 3"), then when inserting in
Word, the size is correct! Any other dpi does not work - only 180.

For some reason, Word is ignoring the embedded dpi information in the
jpg file. It assumes the file is 180 dpi, and from that assumption it
generates the image size in the document.

If anyone could explain to me why Word 2003 is doing this I would be
eternally grateful.

thanks,
karl
