Pasting Trouble w/images, screenshots included

[Guest]

I don't think people understood my original problem, so I'm going to try a
new thread with visual aids. Ok, here's my website...

http://www.stratusfaction411.com


Traditionally, I could take an image file, copy it, ctrl-v it into the blue
area and then go into the image properties and resizing it to fit the cell
how I want (keeping the file at it's original resolution.)

However, since fresh installing Windows XP this has been happening...

As you can see, not only is the file resized, but it's distorted. If I were
to copy the distorted file out, or save it, this is the end result..

Obviously Frontpage is doing something to the image BECAUSE, when I open up
the Officeclip board and then paste via it this happens...

That's how it USED TO paste images onto a page. Original resolution and
everything. I would then go into image properties and set it down to fit the
cell properly...

Keeping the picture at it's original resolution.


I'm not looking to be told to save the file and import it. I shouldn't have
to import the file because for 2 years now I've NEVER had to import the file.
Some setting has changed between win98se/frontpage2002 installation and
winXP/frontpage2002.

I would like to figure out what's going on so ctrl-v does the same thing as
the office clipboard. I will also note that regardless of the source of the
copy the end result is the same. Pasting images into other office products
retains their resolution without a forced resize or restortion.

The clipboard is dependent on available system memory
Your upgrade of OS is definitely reducing significantly available system memory

Also this problem occurs when the Office Clipboard is enabled and you copy an item that would cause the Office Clipboard to exceed
four megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM). The Office Clipboard is limited to four MB of RAM
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221190/EN-US/
- That also means You can't compare clip art pastes to jpg pastes


PS
Your approach will (and did) always "distort" the image quality because it forces FP to save the pasted image (.jpg - which does not
provide for lossless compression)
- FP image handling is marginal at best (compare to an image editor)
No matter what you do you will always end up w/ less quality that you started with unless you use File Import (then brows to the
saved image) before you use it
