I think what you are seeing in your RTF file is the raw size of
your images based on the dpi you used when they were created. The
actual picture files are embedded in the RTF file if you have
selected that option. It does not appear to include any size
information for the image though.
Just like you have to generate the table of contents and indexes
(all the RTF file contains are the markers and location where the
TOC and Index will be placed) you will have to use your word
processors image sizing tools to size the image boxes to your
preferences. I do not use Word 2000 so I don't know if it has an
ability to set the image size globally or if you have to size
each one separately.
If you do not want to resize the images manually then the PDF
file option may be acceptable to you but you will not have any
edit capability after the PDF file is created, unless you have
the full version of Adobe Acrobat.

One, it appears that for printing purposes the screen/printer version is
the only one that faithfully reproduces Book files.
Two, the Rtf editable file; here's what Help says: "Rich Text File sends
the report to a disk file containing all the formatting options such as
bolding, indents, fonts and font sizes. It also contains all the index
and table of contents marks. This file can then be loaded into your
favorite word processor for further editing and formatting."
That seems clear enough: it's a basic file that you can personalize to
your heart's content. But what confuses me is the available option to
include pictures, which come out enormous, some a full page, even though
report settings are all for minimum image sizes. Am I corrrect in
assuming that I should forget about this option; that all images must be
uploaded manually to an Rtf file; that there's no workaround?
If that's definitely the case, I'd bettter concentrate on the Pdf version.
I have Legacy 6 Deluxe, latest build; XP-SP2, Word 2000.
