Re: Graphic Size Problem

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

/ Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
| I've just started using Word97 (from Word95) and find that the graphic
| signature I have in the document now extends across the page instead of
| a reasonable signature size.  I've tried adding "scale:'max" and "scale:
| 'max-uniform" with "max-width" and "max-height" statements in the "make
| external-graphic". This is found in dbgraph.dsl. 

There are (apparently) some difficult/impossible to control interactions
between scaling and the Word graphic import filters.  In practice, I think
this means you can't set the height or width of graphics.

However, based on a report of success, I've added support for
the scale attribute on graphic to db108b7.  So if the image is
twice as big as it should be, you may be able to say "scale=50"
on the graphic and get Word to make it the right size.  No
promises, it hasn't actually worked for me yet.

| On a similar vein, has anyone used WordPerfect to read the RTF files? 
| There are some significant difference in the look.  Graphics don't read
| at all.  Is there any way to make WordPerfect work better?

Have you tried the rtf-95 backend?
