Re: Opening the file in MS Word, linked images wrong size

cdfleischmann,

xProps.getPropertyValue("IsPixelContour") have no sence when using "linked" images, this property only works with embeded images. Maybe thats the reason for your problems.
When setting xProps.setPropertyValue("Width", width); to a percentage and not a fixed value, can also be the reason why you have different sizes in the Word Document.

Hope it helps a bit
