| 379909 | 2005-08-10 04:26:00 | I tried Wordpad...File...New..Insert..Object...Bitmap image...Create from file. All I can get into Wordpad is an icon with the file name of my photo. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 379910 | 2005-08-13 00:27:00 | Quite by chance I found for my Lexmark printer a "viewing Booth". This allowed me to alter the size to what I wanted ,just before printing. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 379911 | 2005-08-13 01:09:00 | Go to Image>Stretch-Skew and enter the % reduction you want . You can do it in several bites if necessary to get the size right, but that is not really important because you can size the image in the final document . I use Paint quite a lot because I can open as many iterations of the program as I want, each showing a different image, and switch between them at will for reference purposes while writing reports . To include the image in a report I copy it then use Edit>Paste Special rather than Insert Image . The result can be dragged around the screen for placement and resized to suit by dragging one corner . There are better image handling programs for sure, but operating on the KISS principle I find Paint fast and efficient for the functions I need . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
