    :):) I need to insert a number of photos in to an excel document -however each time I insert a photo I then have to format it to fit in to the section I require - is there any way of automatically formatting photos prior to copying them in so that they will just fit in the area I click on - or am I asking for too much????:rolleyes:

    You could use IrfanView's batch resize on a folder of photos to rescale them all to a suitable fixed size, ready for insertion.

    Do you really want to use a spreadsheet to store photos? :eek:

    As the other poster suggested get that program and resize your stuff. There is also another issue here with resizing. If you reduce your photos you will end up with a pretty hefty document. Let's say you have an original 18 x 12 with a file size of 1mb and reduce with it irfanview to fit 9 x 6 your file will become ¼ of the original file size. This is because you reduce in two dimensions. However if you shrink the original in Excel the imported file size remains as the original!
