Expand size of graphics on click - possible?

[Rick Stanford]

I'm trying to find out if MS Word has the capability of expanding the size of
a graphic by 'clicking' on it - as some web pages do with thumbnails. I have
a two-column document, and the graphics are somewhat small (but not terrible)
when crammed into a single column. Is there some way to keep them in the
column as a person reads the document, but allows the reader to expand the
graphic temporarily for a more detailed look?

Thanks,
Rick

Nothing like that built into Word, no. You'd need to use a macro (to change the
Zoom would be easiest), either put it on the right-click menu, or create a
double-click event, or put the graphic into a Macrobutton field and change the
buttonclicks property for the application window.
