graphics screen resolution

Help.

I am importing chapters of a doctoral essay into Word 2007 to convert to a
book.

I have tons of .jpg files in them.

The default screen resolution does not permit me to see the details of the
graphics as I could in prior versions of Word.

How do I adjust the screen resolution for the graphics displayed on the page?

They print fine.

Thank you.

Hi rdbflute,

Can you provide some detail on what you're importing and the steps and if the 'detail' you're not seeing (a) may be affected by the
zoom setting you're using for viewing and (b) if the detail prints as expected.

In general the monitor has a 96 ppi resolution and any impact on your monitor would generally be from your Windows system or display
card driver/appearance settings.

When you say you were able to change this for Word in prior versions what steps were you using?

Prior versions could apply a PPI resolution, primarily for resizing (i.e. what was the 100% of, in display as 100%) to a graphic
that did not include a pixel per inch value in the graphic through
Tools=>Options=>[Web Options]=>Pictures

Word 2007 still has that setting at
Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>General=>[Web Options]=>Pictures
but, Office 2007 also added a different graphics engine which doesn't look at the setting for as much impact as it did in prior
versions, but it does look more at the settings in 'compress pictures' (Select a picture in the document and use
Picture Tools=>Format=>Adjust=>Compress Pictures=>[Options] )

to see what setting is in use for that.
