Keep ratio in graphic dialog box under type tab doesn't seem to do anything

Keep ratio in graphic dialog box under type tab doesn't seem to do anything. I couldn't find anything in help so maybe this is just a documentation issue.
please install the latest release of the office and try to reproduce this issue with this version reassigned to jw
this issue will be closed octobre 30th if i do not see any further comments by the reporter
I'm sorry, I thought I selected 1.1 RC5. I'll try to get a newer version later. I found the ratio issue in 1.1 RC5. Thanks. -Jeff
if you check this button and change for example the width size the high size will change automaticaly to keep the proportions of this graphic example keep ratio checked and with is 4cm and hight is 2 cm now change width to 8cm -> hight will automatically change to 4cm if you see that the size does not stay exactly on the round values (3, 98cm instead of 4 for the hight size for example) do not worry this is a known bug set to invalid
invalid -> closed
I thought it locked the ratio when you change the graphic size by grabbing a corner or edge with the mouse pointer. Should I change this to a documentation or enhancement? -Jeff
ok, after reading the help i agree with you, this schould be a documentation bug. the help does not make this feature clear to the user. set component documentation reopend
reassigned to default owner set target to OOo later
derekd -> jeffj In the Graphics dialog box, click the Help button and scroll down to the entry 'Keep Ratio'. What exactly is unclear about the entry "Maintains the height and width ratio when you change the width or the height setting."
I expected it to keep the ratio when I resize with the mouse. I'm not sure why I didn't see it in help before. Maybe this should be a request for enhancement?
closing issue
The documentation is apprenly correct, if it says that the ratio SHOULD be, that is requested to be preserved. However, the acutal code does not honor this check box! I have found that at times, BMP files improted as graphics are indeed minimized tothe size of a single character. Once can only "find them" by using the Navigator.graphics.graphic# facility. Irregardless of finding them, the code does not honor the request. In fact this is easly demonstrated by simply checking the box, then manipulating the graphic to an arbitrary form. Obviously, this is incorrect BEHAVIOUR (code problem) This is observed in the officel 1.1. release.
