Using Word 2002 I am inserting images 800 pixels wide into my web page. They show at 50% of my 13-1/4" wide screen with 1024X768 display setting and should be about 80% The images are in the same directory as the index.html and I Insert - Picture - From File then select the file and click Insert > LINK TO FILE in bottom right corner. This works great and doesn't create those extra image directories. But the pics are all smaller so they must be getting resized. Any help on this would be appreciated. http://www.axiom.ws/white-rock/index.html

The first table sets the display to 100% <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0'> The nested tables which displays your images are set to 70% of the 1st 100% and then your images (ex beach-bear.jpg) are set to 427 x 290 pixels. <td width="70%" valign=top style='width:70.0%;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'> <p class=MsoNormal> </p> </td> <td width="30%" valign=top style='width:30.0%;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'> <p class=MsoNormal> </p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1'> <td width="70%" valign=top style='width:70.0%;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><img border=0 width=427 height=290 id="_x0000_i1026" src=beach-bear.jpg></p> </td> The best help that I'm able to offer is to find another software to create html pages. One speficially designed for that purpose. The second suggestion is to use CSS (not Word CSS) to create your web pages. The third suggestion is "don't assume that everybody has the same monitor and browser settings for screen display that you do." 800 pixels for an image is too large to display on a web page. Rather, you should display a reasonable thumbnail with a link to a larger image. http://allmyfaqs.com/faq.pl?AnySizeDesign
That was very helpful, thanks, Ken.
