Tom,

One way to mess up a pasted image is to choose the wrong format. It doesn't distort the image but creates a smaller image. Often when you select Edit/Paste your given several options. For example you often get the chance to choose between "Device independant bitmap" or "Bitmap". If you choose "Device independant bitmap" the bitmap often imports at a smaller image size, but "Bitmap" imports correctly.
