Thanks to Bob, Jacques, and Gilbert. Your technical insight to WMF and EMF files is quite helpful. I hope to be able to return the favor soon.

When I do a "Save Window As" from a layout, I am offered the chance to input a dpi measure for the WMF file, which strikes me as useless, considering it's a vector format. What's even more strange is that when I wrote out two WMF files from the same layout (one at 240dpi and one at 96dpi), the 240dpi WMF was only 10% bigger in file size than the 96dpi WMF. Anyone care to comment on this? Feel free to tell me if I'm all wet....I don't get my feelings hurt.
