Re: pasted obect is smaller
Have you tried a table? Create a one cell table, right-click, format table,size
it to your dimensions. With the cursor in the table, fill, fill effects, picture
tab, browse to the image.
Have you tried converting to .wmf or .emf? They are vector formats, you won't
have the yukky (yucky).
Instead of a text box, create a rectangle the size you need, right-click, fill,
fill effects, picture tab.
You can give the autoshape no line.
