Automatic Image scaling in Microsoft word

Hi guys.

So here is the problem:
1. I am using form letters in MS Word to give each student an individualized test question.
2. Question consists of an image of a coin and the description of the coin. Both are listed in an additional excel file.
3. Whenever I order MS Word to import them via the form letter Word automatically scales down the images.
4. I instead would prefer if it would just scale them the usual way, that is fit them within the width of the page.

I have tried several options, such as defining the field in which it is supposed to import the images - no luck, still scaled down.

Anybody got a solution to this problem? My students and I would greatly appreciate it.

There should be an option in the merge field properties (right click) to "keep original format" (like other "paste" options) that doesn't re-scale the image.
