photo woes in Pub 97

[liaM]

Wouldn't it be nice if a pic of x inches at y resolution could be pasted
on a page of z inches at y printing resolution and be the right size on
screen?

Is there a way to do this* ?


* inserting a bmp picture without having to resize it or having to
create an image frame for it?

In Publisher 97? Nope. Later versions improve this - your software is a
decade behind the times...

Creating a frame is still the only way to get consistent size images in 97. At
least you are asked if you want the frame to resize to the image or the image to
resize to the frame. Distortion was rampant.

Publisher 2002 introduced the ability to insert a picture into a table cell.

Thank you for the hint. Resizing the frame to the image works
beautifully (w/bit mapped images... who knows what will happen with JPG
or compressed TIF or... shudder..)
