Eh?  When I insert an image into MS Word, crop it and/or resize it, and
then quit or go to another document or something, when I come back the
image is the same size as I left it.  Only in RR have I seen images
revert to the original size when you leave the document (or card) and
then return to it.

I'm still confused as to why this isn't the expected behavior.
