I've got a strange problem with graphics/pictures in Word documents.
These documents are in old Word6.0/95 format and contain
graphics/pictures in a specified width (106 mm) and different heights.
This is their original width and height. (Sizes read under Office 2007,
where graphics and images are presented in right size)
Opening these old documents in Office 2008 for Mac there is the problem.
Images now have a size of 176mm x 176mm scaled to relations mentioned
above. That means, that they are distorted and due to "new" width (176mm
instead of 106mm), there is a blank area on right.
The 176mm correspond to the height of the original graphic files
(Corel). So I guess that there is a relation.
What I've tried so far:
- Under Windows: saved document in new formats (97-XP and docx) ->
Office 2008 size of graphic shown right but still disorted and still
blank area
- Under 2008: saved in 95 -> under windows size is shown as 176mm x
176mm, scaled to right size but doesn't look distorted.
So is there anybody with an idea, where the problem is located or what
to do. I Know: one possibility is to change every graphic, but these
documents are from a book and there are a lot of.
Thanks
Matthias
