--- Comment #5 from Albrecht Müller <[email protected]> ---
Using a very old installation of Star Office 9 I was able to convert a .rtf
file containing linked pictures into an .odt file. LibreOffice displays the
converted file correctly. There are some flaws however:

A more then 15 years old version of Word, Word97, shows the pictures in some
reasonable default format, e.g. it scales larges pictures in a way such that
they fit on a page.

The .odf file seems to contain the pictures in their original size. This
requires substantial work to format them by hand, and I think the related
dialog box is confusing and lacks a feature that allows to change the scaling
while maintainig a fixed aspect ratio, especially the aspect ratio of the
original picture.

I would expect that LibreOffice scales big linked pictures such that they fit
on a page while maintaining the aspect ratio of the original as a default
behaviour (the .rtf file may specify something else).

A feature that allows to scale a picture using a fixed aspect ratio would be
helpful. GIMPs user interface contains this kind of scaling transformations.
