Distorted Images in Word Output

Hi,

I am trying to generate a Word 2010 document from my RH9 project, and everything works smoothly except for the screen captures, where most are very distorted (they are the correct width, but much longer than they should be).

In order to avoid numbering issues with conditional text, images are always inserted after a Shift+Enter in procedures, so they have the same formatting as the step/bullet.

I cannot see any pattern in the distortion. Similar size dialog boxes may be okay after one step, but then distorted after the next step.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jackie

Thank you all for your help.

I forgot to mention that I finally managed to sort out the problem: Generating the Word document as .doc and not as .docx worked perfectly .

Once the .doc was generated, I could save it as .docx without any problems.

Adding the images that way will not cause them to be distorted. Have you tried right clicking and selecting Reset Size.

Hi Peter,

I tried that before, but it doesn't fix it.

The images are good in the OLH and just squashed in the Word document, correct?

Are you mapping to a Word document in the last page of the printed documentation settings?

Can you recreate this in a new project?
