Is there any way to limit the size of images in the ArborText Editor window? Here's the situation:

Any thoughts about using FOSI, APP, ACL, or duct tape to make this happen?

You've almost got it, you just have to set the graphic attributes in your gentext dynamically to reflect the graphic specified in the document. Try this:
Hopefully that will get you the rest of the way there.

Do you use IsoDraw for the images? If not, could you create a template and resize each image before referenceing the image from editor.
We use a template in Isodraw that when exported it clips at the VDC extent. This allows editor to only show what our template size is.

Not IsoDraw. Most of our images in Windchill are photos or screenshots that are saved directly as PNG or JPG. Some have been edited in SnagIT or Photoshop to add text, callouts, etc.
You can probably do this in Styler, something along these lines:
* For your graphic element in the context of table, switch from Base (all outputs) to Arbortext Editor
* Set the graphic to hidden
* In generated text, add a new graphic that points to the same graphic location, but has the size constraints you want
This should give you a manageable view in the Editor window, without affecting published output.

I like the idea...especially beccause that was the path I originally pursued. However, I had no luck. Based on your suggestion, I tried again, but still failed. Are you able to make it work for you?

That did it! Thank you especially for spelling out the steps for this knows-just-enough-to-be-dangerous user.
Excellent, I'm glad it worked for you!
