Width and Height
The Width and Height fields under either Scale or Image size change as you enter
values in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom fields. Use the thumbnail next to these
fields to determine the correct amount by which to crop.
Resizing an image
The inserted image might not fit perfectly into the document if it is too big or too
small. In these cases you can use Writer to resize the image.
1) Click the picture, if necessary, to show the green resizing handles.
2) Position the pointer over one of the green resizing handles. The pointer
changes shape giving a graphical representation of the direction of the
resizing.
3) Click and drag to resize the picture.
4) Release the mouse button when satisfied with the new size.
The corner handles resize both the width and the height of the graphic object
simultaneously, while the other four handles only resize one dimension at a time.
Tip
To retain the original proportions of the graphic, Shift+click one of the
corner handles, then drag. Be sure to release the mouse button before
releasing the Shift key.
Be aware that re-sizing a bit-mapped (raster) image will adversely affect the
resolution, causing some degree of blurring. It is better to externally size your
picture correctly before insertion into your presentation, if possible.
Figure 264 shows three examples of an image inserted into a document and resized.
