Thanks Marc unfortunately, I have already gone down that route, thus far, have tried the following:
Inserting the picture (not linked but embedded) as the backgroundURL for the TextFrame. Inside the textFrame, I insert an image (any image), again embedded, and set the size. When I save it to MS Word, I hit bug http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32638 That is, I get an error, There is not enough memory when opening the file in Word. A sample ODT file: http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/file/n3275734/test.odt test.odt And the resultant MS Word doc file http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/file/n3275734/test.doc test.doc However, when I link the images rather than embed, ie., I use file:/// to link to an absolute filename (with absolute). The document opens correctly and the scaling/sizing works as it should. However the file is then not portable, ie., refers to locations on my machine. If however, I try to host the images (on a server), and try to include images via URL hyperlinks (http://...) rather than to local files, (files:/ / /) The images don't seem to scale no matter what I try and remain 100% of the original file size... Is there a known workaround to insert images via hyperlinks and have the resultant image load, and correctly (re)size? -- View this message in context: http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/Opening-the-file-in-MS-Word-linked-images-wrong-size-tp3263558p3275734.html Sent from the openoffice - api dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org
