Is it possible to resize an image through a LinkBack link ?

[Joel Page]

What's going on here is that by default pasted images are set to  
"stretched" in the Image Inspector, so when the LinkBack info is  
changed, the new imagery stretches to fit inside the bounding box.

Change the setting to "Natural Size", and then after changes are  
made, you can right-click on the pasted image and from the Size  
submenu, "Size to fit image".
