Hi Mike,
The graphics handling is different in Word 2000 and Word2002
in some respects from the switch to the GDI+ handler in 2002.
In Tools=>Options=>General=[Web Options] what resolution do
you have set for inserted graphics?
If you use Edit=>Paste Special and choose either Word Picture
or EMF do you get the same issue? Word has some antialiasing
built in, but not to the extent in pre 2000 versions.
You may also want to check for upgraded printer and graphics
card drivers. Word 'reads' both of these when working with
graphic content.
====
Same issue, Office 2000 to Office XP. Images inserted
into docs in O2000 now are blurred on the screen and when
printed. What to do now? Any help appreciated. Nothing
in knowledge base about this issue.
thanks in advance, you too odie
