How to get rid of Word warning about dimension resizing

[Statey603]

I inherited a Document that is used a a specification template. Whenever I open the document and scroll past an embedded logo image, the following message pops up.

"The dimensions after resizing are too small or too large."

I searched and found that the apparent cause is a missing horizontal tag from an HTML document that was converted to a Word DOC.

The WORKAROUND that I found posted is as follows:
To prevent this problem from occurring, add a WIDTH attribute to the <HR> tag. For example, the following <HR> tag does not cause this problem to occur after you save, close, and reopen your Web page saved as Word.

Here is my issue.
This is a DOC file. I do not want to save this as a web/html. I attempted to temparaily save as htmp in hopes of then saving as DOC, but this changed a number of fonts that were in the doc (non-html supported fonts, etc, I assume).


Does anyone know of any way to correct this in me word doc?

thanks

In your Word, first go to Tools, Options, and the Genral Tab check "Confirm Conversions at Open"

Then follow this Link

- thanks for your speedy post.
however, I am confused by the steps on the microsoft site:

------------------------------------------------------To remove HTML tags from your document, follow these steps:
------------------------------------------------------
1. On the File menu, click Open.
2. Click to select the Confirm Conversions check box and click your file.
3. Click OK.
4. In the Confirm Conversion dialog box, click Text Only.
5. Click OK.
6. After the document opens, run the following macro. This macro will find, select, and remove the HTML tags:
------------------------------------------------------

If I select File - Open (step 1), I do not get an option to select Confirm Conversions checkbox.
NOTE: I did go into Tool - Options per your instructions and already checked this and closed out of the document in question.

How do I get the Confirm Conversion Dialog Box as mentioned in step 3?

Is it supposed to appear when I open the document?

My guess is that Word doen't think it needs converting.

I would make a copy of the doc, make sure problem exists on the copy, and try the macro from MS on the copy.
