How do i paste images without any change in scale?

Promit

I use windows xp, and MS Office XP. However I am having problem regarding
copying and pasting pictures to Microsoft Word and other microsoft office
programs.

Like i want to copy and paste this in Microsoft Word. So i copy this image.
This image is its actual scale size.

But after i paste it in Microsoft Word XP, the image becomes bigger then
it's actual size.
Like here for instance.

So what do i have to do, to prevent this overscaling of images when pasting
it in to Microsoft Word XP or other office programs.

thanks.

What application are you using for the copy?

Insert the image instead of copy/paste. What happens when you use "paste special?"

Hi Promit,

GIFs do not store a Pixel per Inch (PPI) value within
the graphic but are 'normally' 96 PPI. If you change
the setting in Tools=>Options=>General=>Web Options=>[Pictures]
to 96PPI then paste or use Format=>Pictures=>Size=>Reset
after doing so the picture that was pasted or inserted
that does not have an internal PPI value should resize to
match the original.

You may want to turn on the 'use Pixels for HTML features'
checkbox in Tools=>Options=>General to see the size comparisons
more easily.
