WINDOWS

Summary:

The maximum length of a graphic in Microsoft Word for Windows is one page. A graphic larger than one page is truncated at the end of the page.

To work around this problem, you can scale or crop graphics to fit on the page.

To scale a graphic, do the following:


 * 1) Click somewhere in the graphic to select it. Black boxes appear at each corner of the graphic and in the middle of each side.
 * 2) While holding down the SHIFT key, click one of the black boxes and drag it in the direction you want to scale. To maintain a constant proportion in the graphic, use one of the corner boxes. As you drag the mouse to the new position, Word displays a gray box that is the new size of the graphic. When the gray box is the size you want, release the mouse button and the SHIFT key.

If you do not have a mouse, choose Picture from the Format menu, and adjust the values in the Height and Width boxes under Scaling.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
