Winxp, office 2k(word)

Have several photos (,jpg) resized in PSP to 4"w x 3" h.
Inserting into a Word doc and size changes to 3"w x 2.25"h.

I know I can play with size in PSP and get close to what I want(4x3) but
wondering why this is happening?

Hi L.S.,

As a guess, when you saved the graphic in Paint Shop Pro the graphic did not include a specific pixels per inch (PPI) value in the
graphic. It's possible that the settings in PSP are 72 PPI.

When you inserted into Word 2000, when the graphic does not have a specific value in it the value in
Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options=>Pictures would be used.

A change from 72PPI to 96PPI would produce a graphic size change of close to what you mentioned. If you change the above setting
in Word 2000 to 72PPI does the graphic size change? (You may have to reset the picture to have it take effect - right click on
picture, format picture)
