SYMPTOMS
You paste a picture or a graphic into a picture frame in a SmartArt graphic in any of the Microsoft Office 2007 programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies To&quot; section. When you do this, the picture or the graphic is distorted. The picture or the graphic changes non-proportionally to fill the picture frame.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.

Format the shape of the picture or the graphic

 * 1) Right-click the picture or the graphic, and then click Format Shape.
 * 2) Click Fill in the left pane, and then use one of the following methods:
 * 3) * Click Tile picture as texture. This process uses the original, non-distorted picture or graphic as a tile with which to fill the picture frame.
 * 4) * Adjust the controls under Stretch options. This process restores the picture or the graphic to its original proportions.

Resize the picture frame

 * 1) Click the picture or the graphic.
 * 2) Adjust the size of the picture frame.
