From: Ianb on 5 Apr 2010 19:33 Hi I'm not sure if this is a Word issue or a MOSS issue but I think I'm posting in the right place. I have a MS Word template in a library in a MOSS site. I access the template from another site in the MOSS collection using Content Types. This works fine. Recently I thought would put some GIF files in a folder in a library and link these into the template so that they appear in the content but aren't embedded. This all works fine within the template but when I create the file using the Content Type the images appear smaller and the aspect ratio is different. I can't seem to do anything to keep the files in the original format Can anyone help Thanks. IanB

What happens if you use File>New in Word and select the template (you may need to put a copy of the template in the Word Templates folder and modify the links)? Are the images then as you would expect them? If so, it would appear to be a MOSS issue. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
