Hello,
How can Outlook 2007 be set to not convert images to bitmaps?
I've just been upgraded to Office 2007 and am having problems with images in
Outlook 2007 emails. In Office 2003 I could do up charts in Excel, then to
a [Copy as Picture]|[As shown when printed], followed by a [Paste
Special]|[Picture (Enhanced Metafile)] in Outlook emails. This would give
me an identical image as the Excel chart pasted into the body of the email
so people could see the chart as they read the email without clicking about
with attachments. It worked great in 2003 and kept the size of the email
very small and the chart images were perfect copies of the chart in Excel.
Now in Office 2007 I follow the same steps as I did in 2003. From Excel
[Home]|[Clipboard]|[Paste]|[As Picture]|[Copy as Picture]|[As shown when
printed]. Then in an Outlook email, [Message]|[Clipboard]|[Paste]|[Paste
Special]|[Picture (Enhanced Metafile)]. It looks perfect. However, when the
email is sent the Picture (Enhanced Metafile) is converted to Picture
(Device Independent Bitmap) and the size of the email is huge, 2MB. I can
see the conversion type as when people replied to the email saying the chart
looked crappy I saw the tag line where the chart image was. I tried making
another email and sending it to myself and low and behold the chart image is
bitmap, the email size is huge AND the chart is a mess; formatting is all
over the place, the lines are pixelated and blurry, the labels are hardly
readable: just awful.
How can Outlook 2007 be set to not convert images to bitmaps? It does not
do this in 2003 so there must be a way to have it "behave" in 2007. Sending
the Excel file is not an option as there is a large amount of data behind
the charts and they use addins that are not available to the email list.
PDF-ing the chart and sending the attachment is not preferred as the images
are preferred to be in the body of the email as with 2003.
Thanks,
E
