Jenny is correct in mentioning that large scale graphic images of source 
documents don't scale well for Legacy generated reports. But maybe the OP would 
be happy to know that Legacy generated HTML page create a link between the web 
page graphic and the original image. Thus a typical census image which looks 
useless on either a report or web page will actually open up to a full size 
image on the generated HTML. Maybe this technique would accomplish what the OP 
was looking for.

I thought I remembered that we had discussed here before that Source Pictures 
don't print well in Reports, so I just tried one this afternoon to confirm my 
suspicions.

The picture I used was a Census that I hadn't re-sized at all.  Within Legacy I 
can zoom way way in and it's still perfectly readable.  For the Individual 
Report I sized it to 15cm width and it was too blurred to read.
