No. You should not change the extension. You should only change the name before the extensions to match each other.

e.g. NZ01.tif and NZ01.tfw

Ah - and at the moment they are lower and upper case - OK

Thanks

Right all the files are now named all the same - i.e. in upper case. Still

no scaling.

As you mentioned the data is from Ordnance Survey UK? They propose woldfiles (.tfw) to their data free to download on their homepage.

Geo-referencing, and land and sea tiles 

You could compare your wordfiles with the downloaded ones if they have any of your data. Simply drag and drop the .tfw files in notepad to open them.

1:25 000 Scale Colour Raster - 10km x 10km NZ01.TFW looks like this one:

2.500000000000000
0.000000000000000
0.000000000000000

You can't do any such thing in ArcReader.

Now, coming to ArcMap, what happens when you Add Data > Add the TIF Raster image to ArcMap? Could you send a screenshot of the whole ArcMap screen after adding the Raster (TIF Image) to it?
