Default Making Images 300DPI

The images (mostly screenshots) are less then 200DPI.



How do I make them 300 DPI?

Here is the manufacturing process:

1. Alt PrtScn

2. Paste to Word document

3. Make is grayscale

4. Decrease size from 100% to 50-90%

Thanks.

In Word 2007 & later, the maximum output image resolution for bitmap graphics is 220dpi, unless you're using images in EPS format and you're printing to a postscript printer.

Thanks Paul.

How do I make a screenshot EPS format?

What if the image is 180DPI? How do I make it the max 220DPI?

For EPS format, you'd need to paste the image into an image editor (eg Photosop Elements) that can save in that format.

To get the maximum quality for other images in Word, turn off image compression and set the default to 220dpi (I'm not sure where these functions are located in Word 2007). However, Word cannot increase the resolution of an image. If you need better than 180dpi, you'd do best to capture the image at the higher resolution rather than to try to upscale it later on.
