MicrosoftIf anyone has any input on this issue below, please let me know:
*******************
I have been dealing with this image-shrinking issue on and off for years—and through some additional investigation, I narrowed down the difference in behavior (but not the cause).
Pasted images are shrinking in the Office 2016 install that includes OneNote, but not in Office 365. Since Microsoft removed OneNote from 365, you have to download OneNote separately to get it. I’ve never had a problem with the Office 365/separate OneNote installation—but the issue is consistent in the Office 2016 Professional Plus install.
Microsoft should be embarrassed by the fiasco they created around OneNote—pushing customers to use their Windows 10 toy and taking away one of the best tools ever built. They created avoidable confusion that remains to this day, and on top of that—this pasting problem that exists in one version and not the other.
Untold millions don’t even realize that it’s not supposed to shrink the images like that. I’m in IT and I relentlessly dig for answers—and it took me awhile to nail down what’s going on here. So there’s a lot of people out there who have just been putting up with it—and that’s not right. Your customers deserve a lot better than that.
On the removal of OneNote from Office: I was one of those people who fought that for over a year—and to Microsoft’s credit, they changed their minds. That’s a lot of time and frustration that no one should have had to invest. Microsoft has made some major blunders over the years—and in the right hands, those mistakes are opportunities to learn from. That stunt you pulled with pushing people to Windows 10 OneNote—you should have known better.
It’s wonderful that you came around, but you need to take a hard look at why you make such a massive mistake in the first place.
And you need to fix this problem with the images. That is sloppy programming—and that should be as unacceptable in your eyes as it is in mine. Even if you can’t fix it, there’s an explanation for it—and I wanna know what it is.
Thank you for your time,
Richard W. Memmer
