Pictures

[HarrytheK]

I have a picture in Microsoft Office Picture Manager that I right click on

and press Set as Desktop Background. However, when the picture appears as my

desktop background, it is so much larger than the actual picture itself that

all I see on the desktop is the center of the picture blown up to an absurd

proportion. I can't even see the people in the picture.



What is causing this and how do I correct it?



Thanx

It depends on what operating system you are using and has nothing to

do with Office.

If XP, then rightclick the desktop and choose Properties.

On the Desktop tab use Stretch instead of Center or Tile

Use a third party viewer such as www.xnview.com Right click your image, set as

Wallpaper.

Xnview is free.
