In Publisher 97, when I copied clip art, clicked on an existing picture frame
and pasted it, the new picture changed to the size of the existing frame. In Publisher XP, when I do the same thing the old picture frame disappears and the new picture is drawn much larger than the old frame. Can I fix this, or did they "improve" Publisher XP in this area, too. |

Can I fix this, or did they "improve" Publisher XP in this area, too. a) There is no such thing as Publisher XP. You mean Publisher 2002. b) When pasting a copied piece of ClipArt whilst an existing frame is selected, the copied graphic should be pasted over the top at original size, with the selected object unaffected. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

Yes, I mean publisher 2002. No, that is not what happens. When I select a
picture frame and paste, the new picture appears much larger than the original frame, and I have to resize it.

That's unpossible. Let's number these so we can understand each other more easily. You copy picture 1. You select picture 2. You paste. Picture 2 stays exactly where it is. A copy of picture 1 appears at the size of the original picture 1. Either in the position of the original picture 1 or slightly displaced, depending on whether or not you've switched page.s -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

If I remember correctly, when doing a "replace" image from file, I would get a option to keep original image size or size to the image frame box. That vanished (in my memory) in the switch from pub97 to pub98.... I could be wrong, but I just kept resizing the pasted image cause the option wasn't there anymore SteveNC |

Use an autoshape, adjust it for the size you want, select the object, fill, fill
effects, picture tab. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "skypilot" wrote in message ... Yes, I mean publisher 2002.

The difference in 2002 (or possibly earlier) is that the pasted picture gets its own frame, rather than going into the selected frame. Change the picture to fit the frame was *evil* in my opinion. It encouraged the destruction of aspect ratios, producing the most butt-ugly publications. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

No, I select picture #1, copy picture #2. when pasting over picture #1,
picture #2 becomes larger than picture #1. In publisher 97 picture #2 would remain the same size at the picture frame in picture #1. This was very handy for me, because I repeat features in a weekly newsletter. the features appear in the same place, the same size.

Aspect ratio is not a problem for me. I download items from an online
supplier that are the same size each week. In publisher 97, I would click on picture #1, click on insert/from file, and picture #2 would replace picture #1; same size, no problem.

This was very handy for me, because I repeat features in a weekly newsletter. the features appear in the same place, the same size. Are you SURE you are pasting, and not importing a different photo using Change Picture? I can't duplicate this behaviour on my machine. How can you copy picture 2 when picture 1 is selected? Whe picture 2 is on the clipboard, pasting it will cause it to be at the size of picture 2. Publisher doesn't care what's selected, it remains unaffected. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |
