Resizing picture frame/picture problems

T

Toody

Hi Everyone!

I am doing a layout for a pictorial directory in Microsoft Publisher 2003. I
created picture frames the size that I wanted, and inserted my picture, using
"change picture" in the drop down menu. However, when the picture appeared,
it did not appear in the size that I made the frame. In fact, the frame
reduced in size to fit the picture. How can I make the picture that I insert
into an empty frame the same size of the frame without the frame resizing
itself to the picture?

Is there a better way? (By the way, the picture was scanned and stored at
100% in My pictures/My scans folders.)

Any help will be appreciated. I would like to used the same frame size
continuously throught the section of the directory without having to resize
-- and guess as to the size --- of each picture I layout. (Originally, I made
one picture frame size and copied it several times throughout the section of
the directory, hoping to insert a different picture in each frame.)

A workaround would be a one cell table. Select the table, right-click, format
table. Type the dimensions you want the picture to be. With your cursor in the
cell, fill, fill effects, picture tab. Browse to the image.
