  1. Start Paintbrush.

  2. From the Options menu, choose Image Attributes and select Default.

  3. From the View menu, choose Zoom Out.

  4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste two times.

  5. From the View menu, choose Picture to verify that the entire image has been pasted.

    NOTE: To return to the previous view, click anywhere within the picture.

  6. From the View menu, choose Zoom In.

The entire image will now be pasted into the window work area.
