Use a picture within the doc file (Not recommended)
If a customer sent us a name card data with a photo within a doc file, right click the photo and choose Other Options>Size and set the proportion of the photo with 100% x 100%. In some case, customer do not layout the photo as 100% x 100% by adjusting the photo by mouse, so be careful with the proportion.
After the size is adjusted properly, right click the photo again and save as picture (jpg) to Project Folder>Received folder.
Generally, ask the customer to send us the picture with JPG format directly so that we should not change the proportion by ourselves.
