Anyone know how to maintain the aspect ratio of dynamically linked images in CR XI?

I have a database with fields that point to images stored on the server. The images may have different aspect ratios, from square to rectangular (both long and thin and tall and narrow). Creating the OLE Object to display the appropriate image is not a problem. However I cannot find a way to constrain the display of the image to a maximum height or width and maintain its aspect ratio. None of the settings in the Format Graphic dialogue seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Peter

 
Did you try to lock size and position under the common tab for the object?
 
It's a known issue - the dynamic images are always 100%. No way to constrain them unless you size everything to a fixed-size in you image store on the server.

I would expect them to fix it whenever they add support for the GIF image type.

It's not it CR-XI (R2) or Service Pack 1.
 
Thanks MJRBIM. I guess I will have to wait for an update.
