It's also not a good idea to specify a width and a height at the same
time.  This has an impact on the aspect ratio of the graphic.  It's
better to specify the width only, relative to \textwidth:

 \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{...}

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
