I am trying to import a header into word so that I can use the document as an e-mail. Everything works fine except that when I insert the graphic, it seems to shrink in size. I'm sure that I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out. Thanks for the help.
 
Hi,

It's not that you're doing anything wrong, but that Word has it's own interpretations of a graphic's dimensions.

Once the garphic's in Word, though, you can still resize it. You can do this either by selecting the graphic and dragging an edge/corner to change the size or, if controlling the aspect ratio is important, by right-clicking on the object then selecting Format|Object/Picture|Size and adjusting it with 'Lock aspect ratio' set.

Cheers
 
If you hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys as you drag the edge marker of the graphic, then it will resize in proportion
