Appleworks - Can it keep photos at 300 dpi?

Howdy!

When using Appleworks 6 to make property flyers with photos in a draw document, hot can I keep the resolution at 300 dpi? Appleworks automatically drops it to 72 dpi.

TIA

As I understand it, the Draw-part of AppleWorks doesn't really work well with bitmap-graphics. It's thought for creating line-art that you can drop into your texts and other documents...

You asked the wrong question. The resolution in dpi is meaningless if the app can handle multiple resolutions without losing pixels. AppleWorks, like most Mac apps, handles multiple resolutions without losing pixels. When you insert a bitmap image file (raster graphics) into AppleWorks, it may display at the standard resolution of 72 dpi. All of your pixels are still there--just spread over a much larger area. Scale the image to its original physical dimensions. This will squeeze the pixels back into place. Your image will then have its original size and original resolution.
