SUMMARY
If you place a frame around a picture in Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0, 2.0a, or 2.0b, the default settings for the frame's height and width are set to Auto. If you scale the frame, any picture within the frame scales to the same dimensions as the frame. When a frame's height and width are set to Auto, you cannot separately scale the picture within the frame.

MORE INFORMATION
To scale a picture independent of its frame, you can set different heights and widths for the frame and/or picture, using the following steps:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Frame.
 * 2) In the Width and Height boxes, select Exactly. In the At boxes, select a size that accommodates the picture, then choose the OK button.
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Picture.
 * 4) In the Scaling box, select Height and Width settings that make the picture smaller than the frame, and choose the OK button.

Now you can separately scale the picture and/or the frame.
