SYMPTOMS
The height of a text box changes when you paste into it an image from the
Clipboard (such as a ClipArt image or a Microsoft Excel chart).
CAUSE
When you paste an image from the Clipboard into an empty text box or
callout, Word adjusts the height of the text box to match the proportions
of the Clipboard image, while maintaining the text box width.
However, if the text box or callout contains text, the box does not resize.
Instead, Word attempts to maintain the image's size. This may result in the
picture not appearing until you resize the box.
RESOLUTION
To maintain the size of the image, be sure that the text box or callout is
large enough for the image, and then type text in the box. If the box
contains text (such as spaces), Word does not resize the image when it
pastes it in the box.
