How do I resize a snippet (from snipping tool) in Outlook online (365)?

Question

Something was changed in the past week and I can't resize snippets anymore when they are pasted into emails in Outlook on the web (365). They keep coming out very large (offensive and distracting - not good for business). I've tried to resize in OneNote and then re-paste, but this is not a viable option in this busy world or my insanely busy job (no time for that). There must be a way to resize it in Outlook.

Previously there was a dashed line around the snippet that would appear and you could easily resize it, but that has disappeared. Now there is a solid gray box around the snippet that appears to be unmovable.

Also, even if I resize the snip in OneNote and all looks good in my email before I click send, the sent email still has gigantic snips in them (resized after sending to extremely large). Again, this is horrible for business. I've started warning customers when sending snips so they are not offended.

Hi @Deb C ，

According to my research, it seems that recently there is no option to dynamically resize images in outlook for web. As a workaround you may consider using outlook for desktop for now.

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.
