Hi, you can selectt the picture and resize it in Word, using the
little dot in the right bottom corner. It resizes keeping its
proportions, and once you highlight the picture you get lots of
controls in your edit box to play around with it. I'm not sure what
advice you've been given so far, but manipulating the size of a
graphic in Word is no problem at all - if you want to give me a call
I will talk you through it. cheers, Susan.

Thanks to those that replied but I haven't been able to solve the
dilemma
even with your good advice. Very frustrating. Anyone else have any
suggestions on how I can insert a graphic or picture into a Word
document,
and then not only see it on screen, but manipulate its size?
I have tried saving the photo I need to use as a smaller version
but it
always pastes as the full size. I've tried 'paste special' but
that is of
limited use, unfortunately.
I remember loving my old 'Draw' program within Appleworks where I
could do
all this stuff but the new OSX and its attending Microsoft
applications
don't do what I want!! Bugger!!
