Neil,

In Word start recording a macro, carryout the image manipulation operations, stop recording the macro, then edit the macro, you will see the code in VB syntax which is easily converted to VFP.

>I have to right click on the image to bring up the Format Picture dialog. I hit the Layout tab and click on the "square" button. Then I hit the size tab and uncheck the "Lock aspect ratio" and "relative to original pictue size" check boxes. Then my image is set up as I need it to be. How do you get the default format picture properties to default to these settings. Or can we do it under automation?
