Kevin, But the quality will NOT be the same. If you enlarge (zoom) within Word, the pixel count does not change and the image will get blurred real quick, on the sizes that Mary is trying to use and do.

You can save your photos and import or copy them into MS Word. Once in MS Word, the photos can be re-sized, re-positioned and printed. Regards, Kevin.

Hi David, Yes, I am aware of this... There is nothing like having the original negative or the digital equivalent, with a hope that it was taken at a sufficiently high resolution... No matter where you enlarge the photo the quality will deteriorate. There are methods in Photoshop to enlarge with reduced loss and there are other programs which will enlarge using proprietary algorithms, but I thought I would suggest an easy way to print out photos, generally speaking. Resolution in photos is always a tricky subject as there are so many variables... software, printers, etc... In this case, I am finding that the PAINT program always tries to fill the page when I try to print. The only way I can get this to change is to change my printer preferences, where the particular printer I use allows me to re-size the output. I suggest using another Image program... such as Irfanview... You have much more control over everything !!! Regards, Kevin.
