on-going picture problems

Hi all,

A local business using Publisher 2000 has created a number of
templates (most of the content is images) They have now upgraded to
Publisher 2002.
The basic pictures are all 529 x 358 pixels. (an aspect ratio of
1.477 : 1 ) The placeholders are at varying aspect ratios ranging from
1.33:1 through to 1.47:1 but it appears that the pictures all
autoresize ( and distort to a varying degree as a result) to fit the
placeholders in full ( the placeholders all have a border so this is
plainly visible)
However this does not happen in 2002 or 2003. In these programs the
images fill the frame in one dimension only leaving white in the other
dimension.
I know this is the way things shold be to avoid picture distortion but
the client cannot understand this and wants to retain the old
behaviour despite the ditortion caused. Anyone got any observations
please. It appears to me that 2000 was buggy in this respect can
anyone concur please or am I missing something here.

Ron
