MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / December 2005How do I create a template where you can paste images (screen pri.
I make a lot of screen prints a day. I would like to create a template with four fields on a page (same size) where i can just paste the image (screen print) into the field without further adjustments/formats to be made on the image. regardless of the size of the image copied, the field on the template would automatically adjust the image to fit the field (window). Is this possible with Word? (yes it has to be word) A 2x2 table with Exact row height and Preferred column width might accomplish what you want.  SignatureSuzanne S.

(yes it has to be word) Can you expand on this more? i have a table cell with the specific size boxes checked, and want to insert a jpeg file into the cell and have Word automatically size the jpeg to fit the size of the cell. Specifics on how to accomplish this would be great. Thanks. > A 2x2 table with Exact row height and Preferred column width might > accomplish what you want.

(yes it has to be word) I'm finding that, while it should work, it doesn't necessarily. I consider this a bug. One ray of hope, though, is that Word is better about observing Exact row height than it is about observing Preferred column width, so you should be able to insert the JPEG and at least constrain it to the height of the cell. Unfortunately, if the aspect ratio is such that the proportionate width is wider than the preferred width set for the column, it will expand. I'm just remembering, though, that when I was doing this last night I had forgotten to turn off the (unfortunately default) auto resizing. Go to the Table tab of Table Properties, click Options, and clear that check box, and that should help. Choosing Table | AutoFit | Fixed Column Widths should help, too. SignatureSuzanne S.
