If you know what I should do next, please tell me. Otherwise read on.
As a first step I made an HTML index file, and opened it in Open Office. OO insists the images are (about) 25" by 33". If someone could tell me how to resize all the images at the same time, or a macro that could do it, I'd appreciate it. I also have Word 2002, and don't mind using it. I can also down-convert the image resolution if necessary.
Thanks.

If you are willing to spring for a copy of Paintshop Pro 8 (which is really cheap), you could batch process resize all of your images.
Alternatively, you could use any program that will create a PDF by printing to PDF and use a "fit to page" option. Paintshop Pro will also do that.
I'm assuming that since you are creating PDF, you've got some program that can act as a PDF printer. All you really need is something that has a fit to page command for your images and a PDF printer driver.
