You need to tell what it is you're trying to do and what *specifically*
happens that you're not happy with. No one can help you given the (lack of)
information you've provided.

Maybe I'm a little thick, but I'm still not seeing what you're trying to do.
How do you specify a graphic's size in Word? Where do you specify the size?

You have a sloppy printer.. I just printed a 6 cm x 8cm pic on my HP 5150c
and that is exactly the size of the pic printed..
