When you select a picture box that contains an image, the number next to the Effective
Image Resolution icon in the Home tab of the Measurements palette displays the
effective resolution of the image. The actual image resolution divided by the scale of
the image equals the effective resolution. For example, if you import an image with
an actual image resolution of 100 dpi and then increase the scale from 100% to 200%,

quality of the reproduced image will be. Note that if you select multiple picture boxes
with varying effective resolutions, no number displays next to the Effective Image
Resolution icon.
