Word document zoom into images?
polycount sponsor
So I use a lot of word docs at work and put images in them. I would love it if I could supply a high res image and you could click on it to see the full res. Is this possible in word without creating some hyperlink thing? Or is there a better program to use when making documents that can be printed, but in the electronic version you can zoom into the image. I have thought about creating html pages, but that workflow is a bit time consuming for my uses and means the document needs to come with a root folder.

Word in general feels optimized for printing purposes where this feature would be pretty damn useless.
I'm on the 2007 version. There's nothing going on when double clicking the image except entering "Picture Tools" menus when you've selected the image(single click).
Actually it works if you make it a bitmap, but when you double click it opens in paint which is kind of lame.
In word go to options, advanced, Image QUality and check the "do not compress images" box.
Next go find the web options (moves around with every word version) It shpuld have a Pictures Tab where yopu can find DPI settings for images. Pics now should retain quality when you zoom the whole page.
Above settings only apply to current file, you cannot store this crap in your normal.dot
Use ctrl+mousewheel to zoom page in and out.
