Scaling a Picture with a Mouse Allows Invalid Dimensions

Q80026

2.00 WINDOWS kbinterop

SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, if you scale a graphic with a mouse to its minimum size (usually less than one-eighth of the original picture size) no error message is generated; however, if you do the same sizing using the Format Picture command, the following error message displays:

The dimensions after scaling are too small or too large.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) From the Insert menu, choose Picture, select a graphic image to insert, and choose the OK button. The graphic can have any one of the following formats:
 * 2) After you insert the graphic, click the graphic to select it. Scale the graphic to the smallest size possible by dragging the box-shaped handle in the upper left-hand corner down to the lower right-hand corner.
 * 3) From the Format menu select Picture. The Height and Width boxes reflect the mouse scaling operation of step 2. By choosing the Cancel button, the graphic retains these dimensions. If you choose the OK button, which updates the information although it has not changed, the aforementioned error message appears.
