SYMPTOMS
When you copy and paste or drag an inline with text (same layer as text) object from a document into Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0, the object is stored as a Windows metafile (WMF) image and the size increases to approximately four times the original size.

NOTE: Inline objects include pictures, charts, equations, ActiveX controls, and other items that can be inserted into a document by clicking Object on the Insert menu.



CAUSE
Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0 does not understand the size or object type of an inline with text object.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the text wrapping style on the object to a style other than In line with text before you create a clip in Clip Gallery. To change the text wrapping style, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the object and click Format Object.

NOTE: The object type affects this menu item. For example, a picture displays Format Picture, and an ActiveX control displays Format Control.
 * 1) In the Format Object dialog box, click the Layout tab.
 * 2) Set the Wrapping style to Square and click OK.

The object can now be placed as a clip into Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0 and retain its object type and dimensions.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
