paste pictures
I select picture #1, copy picture #2 from another document, and then try to
paste it over picture #1. On publisher 97, picture #2 was resized to match picture #1. On publisher 2002, a much larger picture is pasted over 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. 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 |

paste pictures
Also, Ed, in publisher 97 I could select picture #1, go to insert/picture
from file, select picture #2, and it would be imported at the same size of picture #1. In publisher 2002, the same process results in a picture much larger than picture #1 pasted in its place. "Ed Bennett" wrote: Steve in NC was very recently heard to utter: I sorta gave up on this quirk when I went from pub97 to pub98. 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. 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 |

Mary, I created an auto shape, but I am at a loss as to how to then select
the object, fill, fill efects, and picture tab. picture tab is not available in this scenerio.

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.

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 |

skypilot was very recently heard
to utter: I never use change picture. Why not? Change picture will insert a different picture into the existing frame. Copying and pasting pictures from external sources is inadvisable. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

Select the autoshape, click the fill menu, click fill effects, picture tab. Or
right-click the autoshape, click format autoshape (object). This is instead of a picture frame. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "skypilot" wrote in message ...
