pixels to inches
Brandon
me input data that will be able to fit into my Front Page cell which is also
590
pixels wide. Word only has "inches" and "percent" settings. How many inches
is 590 pixels, and please post the formula for same.
thanks lots.

I've only really used it on one resolution. My computer teacher from way
back when told us that pixels could be used two ways: in relation to a
screen resolution for when one is programming a computer graphic for a
program and when you are just plain drawing in a drawing program (as a unit
of measure that is not relative to the screen size or resolution). Have I
been a victim of misinformation? I'm not sure. Could someone tell me??

If you're not seeing a Pixel option in Word I'll assume you're
using Word97 as Word 2000 does have that choice.
Since Word 97 can open and use a simple web page (i.e. don't use
nested tables) you could create the data entry HTML page and use
it in Word 97.
If you want to create a text box in Word one way would be to
use View=>Tool Bars=>Controls and select the textbox choice
and draw a box on the screen of any size. Right click on the
text box and in the properties choice find the 'Width' setting
and type in 590.
Word 97 used 72 pixels per inch for me in this situation (Mac default)
and the textbox was 8.19"
Interestingly while it does the same thing in Word 2000 for a text
box, for a table cell it uses the PC pixel graphics default of
96 dpi resolution and creates a 6.15 inch cell for 590 pixels
reflecting the screen resolution.

Nope that's basically the case. If you're in a given medium and
resolution then using pixels or picas or inches for a measurement
is likely to be in relation to other sizes of like measure and
you may not have a need to consider where else it might be used.
I'll probably not explain this too clearly (long night, no coffee
yet <g>) but maybe this will help.
If you're printing a bitmapped (pixel) object though there can
be a relation ship between those measurements and the resolution
of the picture but it may be a matter of understanding how the
rendering engine (printer, word processor, graphics editor or
browser) will treat the picture. For the web PCs use 96 dpi
and Macs use 72 dpi for their screen resolution but what many
folks are used to seeing is more like the effects of Word's "Zoom"
control. For example if you have the screen set to 100% and draw
a 3 inch line on your screen or a 3" x 3" table cell and then
change the zoom to 200% the actual line/cell is still, 3" but
on your screen it is now 6" in length. If you change your
screen resolution from 640x480 to 800x600 that's a 25% increase
in resolution so how much screen space a 3" x 3" (288 px x 288 px)
graphic will take up will be different, but the object is
still the same real size. The fun and confusion
you can get with this (especially if you use several different
'helpful' programs) can be just lots of fun :) Add in the ability
of some programs (like Word) to try to also accomodate the printer
resolution and... :)
MS Paint uses 96 ppi by the way. If you open up Paint from
Start=>Programs=>Accessories=>Paint and use Ctrl E change the
measurements to inches then type in 1" wide and 1" high then
okay. Use Ctrl+E again and change the measurement dot back
to pixels and see if it says 96 rather than 92.

I haven't had a problem with that when I've used paintbrush, but then again,
I've only really used it on one resolution. My computer teacher from way
back when told us that pixels could be used two ways: in relation to a
screen resolution for when one is programming a computer graphic for a
program and when you are just plain drawing in a drawing program (as a unit

the cell tab are the options "percent" and "inches". Am I missing something?
I'll experiment with your other options tonight when I have more time(just
lunchtime right now :))

In Word 2000 turn on the [x] Show Pixels for HTML Features
in the Tools=>Options=>General tab under the
"Measurement Units" dropdown.
The Word 97 method will work in either version and using
Front Page to create the page to use should as well.
