Thanks for the Quick Reply, I understand that it would probably be a tough issue to program correctly, especially if you consider how you would want to handle bitmapped images at a different resolutions that are imported in the document. Along these same lines, does anyone know how Writer handles scaling bitmapped images within it's documents. Does it simply change the Resolution to get the required size or does it change the size while maintaining the same resolution ? This will help me teach other people to either scale their images within Writer or Change the Print Size of their Images before importing into Writer to ensure their image resolution is high enough for quality printing.
