Hi Dac ),
in the newsgroups

|| so the picture fits within?

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.
