Outlook 2007 - Pasted Images into eMail are Poor Quality

[Jon Battle - Plano TX]

The images I paste inline into an email are poor quality - blurry, fuzzy.
Never used to be this way in Outlook 2003. I use SnagIt to capture them at
100% quality. Any help is appreciated. Thx

Sounds like you were using Outlook as the e-mail editor then. Outlook 2007
uses a Word stub. Directly pasting images in Word never has been a great
experience for me either. You can control some of it in Word-> Options->
Advanced-> Web Options-> Pictures...

I've crossposted this to related Word newsgroup as they might have better
answers on this case. You can also send feedback to the BETA team by using

As you have no control over how the recipient is going to view your email,
you would be better advised to send whatever it is as an attachment.

This helped a little bit..I set the pictures to hi screen size and 96 dpi and
it looks sharper....but as the next post says,,,I dont know what they will
look like on the rreceiving end - this is a real blow to me....

Related question...signatures...in the old days I used to be able to use
front page to build an HTML based singature....that "advanced edit" option
ius no longer there. What to do??? Thx

You are right...altho its hard to go back to that technique (jpg attachments)
...isnt HTML, rich email the way the future was supposed to be? What are
people doing that are sending out HTML mail as part of their business
etc..surely they are not tolerating the blurriness. Look fwd to your input

Images in an e-mail message must reside on a server. The image in the e-mail
message must be linked to that image on the server.

Wasting their time on me as I have Outlook set to display all messages as
plain text.
