why powerpoint resizes all my graphics when I import a new one

I have several BMP graphics on a powerpoint slide, and I have resized them
to fit nicely. Now, when I import a new BMP, all of the other images
mysteriously return to their original sizes. This is maddening! I just
don't understand Microsoft at all.

Go to Tools > Autocorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type and uncheck the box

inserting a new image.

Sounds like it might work. Thanks. You should mention this in the PP Help
-- indexed under "resizing" so I could have found it. Thanks. -- Dave

Sorry about that. I saw "Microsoft" under Sonia's name, and I thought
"murder! kill! death!" Just kidding. Not really. Is there a bug-report
page where I could alert the Microsoft forces to the inadequacy of their
documentation? Thanks. -- Dave
