'Sending to mail recipient' converts the doc file to a HTML document.

'Specifying the display size' is equivalent to dragging the image handles.

When you are in an OE message composition window for a HTML message, View,
check Source Edit.
This will put three tabs at the bottom of the composition window: Edit,
Source, and Preview.

If you are saving copies of sent emails to Sent Items, click on one of the
emails sent from Word.
Click Forward to get a composition window.
Have the Source Edit tabs showing.
Click on Source.
Look for src, height, or width.
Here is an example.

P class=MsoNormalFONT face="Times New Roman" size=3SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"IMG id=_x0000_i1025 height=480
"
width=640/SPAN/FONT/P

The height and width numbers are pixels.

In Steve Cochran's reply, the first image had this code:
IMG src="BLAH"
Without the height and width code, the height, width, and/or resolution of
the image would be used to display the image.

The second image had this code:
IMG height=250 src="BLAH" width=142
The height and width are set by the HTML code.
The height and width are higher than the source image height and width,
because the image is now blurry.

Thanks Ronald and Steve,
That helped I found the tabs and code:
P class=MsoNormalFONT face="Times New Roman" size=3SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"IMG id=_x0000_i1025 height=980
"
width=668/SPAN/FONT/P/DIV/BODY/HTML
The original image is 1058x1552 pixels. When inserted in Word it maintains
it’s size. When sent to OE it becomes 980x668 so that’s what needs to be
changed.
Have a good year,
Rob

Okay, here's an excuse to post in HTML. G



Here's the IMG element for that image:

IMG src="Blah" where blah is the path.

Now if you go to View | Source Edit then you can go into the source tab
and generate the same image, but you can modify it to specify the height
and width.



If you look at the source code (CTRL-F2) you'll see that I've explicitly
set the image size in the HTML tag as follows:

IMG height=250 src="BLAH" width=142

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...author/dhtml/r
eference/objects/img.asp for details.

Also, most monitors for Windows display at 96 dpi, so you might want to
adjust that as well.
