Default Publisher 2000 - Picture frame size

Hi,

Previously in Pub 97 when you inserted an image into a picture frame it would prompt whether you wanted to change the image to fit the frame or vice versa. This was a particularly handy feature as I use the same frame size but different sized images all the time. HOWEVER, in Pub 2000 this option seems to have gone and now the frame is modified to fit the picture. How do I lock the frame size so the picture fits within?

Help!

The only option you would have would be to scale the picture after inserting
(Right click image Change Picture Scale Picture). The same is present in
2002 and 2003. As a work around you could use the Autoshapes from the Insert
Picture New Drawing dialog. Once the shape is drawn, you can then choose

a picture as a fill color which will fit the picture to the frame.
