I would like to put approx 46 pictures from google images onto A4 pages - 6 images per page but I'm not too sure how to lay out the page so that the photos are all the same size.
I tried dividing the page into 2 columns which helped to fit them onto the page evenly but again I don't know how to make sure they are the same size.
Any suggestions?

Why not just format them all to the same size once you have them on your doc
Try it as labels....

Use Avery a4 labels J8166
No idea if this will work, but why not create a "table" with 6 cells on each page (two columns of 3 cells). Put one picture in each "cell" of the table. This is the way people used to do it on the web.

Is this just for priting off because if so there are other ways of doing this, or do you want that layout for some other reason?

I think that is the part that I don't know how to do squarebear!
Do I just pull on a corner to resize it to what looks right, or is there a more accurate and tidier option to help with keeping the images the same size as well as spacing them out on the page?
right click on the picture and select format picture and you can set the size by clicking on the size tab.

VHG's suggestion of using tables is essentially the same as my suggestion, just that using a label template will setup the tables automatically.

Ah thanks chuck and VHG.
I am hoping that I will be able to print the pages off, laminate them and then cut them so that each of the 6 images are the same size when they stack eg like a deck of cards.
Aspect ratios might become a problem, unless the pictures are exactly the same aspect ratios as the boxes you are trying to fit them in they are either not going to reach one edge or you will have to stretch them so things may appear out of shape.

VHG - tried your table idea and it is working a treat - so far!

Chuck - some of the photos did distort a bit but I just changed them for other ones so it has worked so far as well.

Thanks guys,

Shivvy.
