Thanks Steve,
I already used Irfanview and have reduced the image to an acceptable 241kb
for sending. I was hoping there was a solution without having to resize
further.
I have a 1058x1575 Jpeg image 190dpi. When it is sent from Word it is
automaticaly streched to fill nearly the whole page when printed. When the
same image is inserted directly in a message in OE it is enlarged a lot more
and only about 1/3 fits on the printed page.
What do you mean by "image tag of the HTML IMG"? Are you refering to the
image dialogue box in Word?
Although I have IE7 the info box in OE says I am using version 6. Is that
correct?

I think Word generates a thumbnail, but I'm not sure. The image should be
sized using some imaging program such as irfanview (www.irfanview.com) or if
you don't care about the actual size of the image in terms of bytes, you can
resize it proportionately in the image tag of the HTML IMG element by
specifying height and width.

IE7 introduces a "shrink to fit" aspect in printing that also applies to OE,
which is why it printed on the single page.

When sending an image from Word it’s size is reduced when visualized in
OE.
When inserting the same image directly in an OE message it is enlarged
respect to the original. This is also obvious when printed: the original
fits
on a page while the one printed from OE is to large. I sent this same
image a
week ago and did not have this problem. In the meantime I updated to
Internet
Explorer 7. Could that be a possible cause and can it be resolved?
Thanks
