Greetings all. Is it possible to insert images into word, shrink the viewable size of the image ( not the file size) so more can fit on one page and have them clickable so that when a user clicks on one it displays the full sized image? Kinda like a webpage? Thanks for any help
 
Have you considered actually creating an HTML file? It would certainly be easier to incorporate any scripting needed.

Mostly agree with straybullet. However, yes, it can be done exactly that way, in Word.

Use ActiveX controls. Do a validation on current size, and if size X, make it size Y or the other way.

Code:
Sub Image1_Click()
With Image1
    If .Height > 79 Then
        .Height = 30
        .Width = 64
    Else
        .Height = 80
        .Width = 510
    End If
End With
End Sub

You can use an Image control, or, if you want, say a checkbox control that can perform separate operations for clicking the checkbox to CHECKED, and clicking the image itself.
