????????

a bitmap image ???

i dont know

I just go into paint

copy it whilst paint is still open

and then paste into word

all images are BMP in paint naturally

Are you using a bitmap image? I think that's the native image for Word.

yes

but when I resize , its just an estimate of what the original picture looked like

it is usually one or two pixels bigger or smaller than the original

how do i find out the resolution in word

Well unless you figure out the resolution used by word, and then resize accordingly in paint, thats just how it works.
Last time I used that process I remember it not really being that time or effort intensive...

thats what I did

copied it to word, Then I resized it in word.

I use the classic 2003 version

It's just a nuisance having to do it,

its not that simple.
the image is being scaled into the resolution of the document.
just because it looks a certain size on the screen within Paint, doesnt mean that it will be that same size within a word document.
Either resize the image first in paint, or (depending on the version of word, ) use Word to resize.
What version of Office are you using?

When I copy an image into Microsoft word it resizes smaller

Okay

Situation : I have image in Paint

I copy it

Paste it into Microsoft Word

It is smaller than original image


So I have to manually resize it ?


Is there a way i can just copy it straight in without resizing it ?
thank you
