My scanned documents and downloaded photos from my camera always come up in Microsoft Office (2010) so huge, way bigger than the screen. I constantly have to reduce the size of each manually by at least 50% to get a decent sized image that fits to the screen. It's getting tedious now.

Anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?

In which format are you scanning them to? Usually your scanning software allows you to select a format (e.g. JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF). I'm thinking you are scanning them as TIFF, which is a large file size.

Also, do you know what resolution you are using? The larger the numbers, the larger the actual file and image size.

Feel free to take a screenshot of your scanning utility, and we can provide additional guidance!
