Hi all,

Can anybody assist/suggest?

I'm trying to scan a few pages of a booklet into a Word document.

No probs with the scanning but..

The size of the scanned pages are much smaller than that of the original (A4
size) page.

Apart from resizing the image within the Word document, is there anything I
can change to get the image to appear full size direct from the scanner?

Apologies if posted on wrong Newsgroup, if so other suggestions would be
welcomed.

If the scan is being inserted In Line With Text, then it is conforming to
the page margins. Since the scanned page presumably has its own margins, you
want the image to fill the Word page. It can do this if you change the
wrapping to some other style (but note that it will have to be anchored to a
paragraph on the page, though that paragraph can be empty).
