Setting the image size

You can set the size of an image to rescale to the browser window's size or to remain fixed as the window's size changes. Whether you set an image to rescale in a browser depends on the type of image. For example, you may not want a photograph to rescale as your viewers resize their browser windows because it distorts the image, but you may want a simple border or dividing line to rescale as the browser window changes.

To set the image size and how it adjusts to the size of a browser window:

  1. Double-click on the image to open the Image Object Editor.
  2. Click the Appearance tab to display a new set of options.
  3. Choose the setting type from the Width or Height pop-up menus.
  4. Type the number of pixels or percent for the image's width or height.
  5. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).

Tip Use the mouse to change the width and height of the image proportionately. Select the image, hold down the Shift key, and then drag the lower-right corner handle.

To set the image to its original size, click the Original Size button in the Image Object Editor.
