inserting images in a doc

[Paul]

Hi all!
I'm inserting pcx images in a document with VBA.
Many (but not all) of my pcx files have a 150ppi definition.
But Word seems inserting and linking them with a 96ppi definition and
inserted images are too big.
How can I read the definition of the pcx files with VBA in order to re-size
my images?
Many thanks for your help.

G'day "Paul" <[email protected]>,

you'd need to directly link and call many OS functions which is
outside the scope of the VBA books & general population knowledge.
Start reading MSDN Word's native gfx handling is atrocious and
there is little to be done.

One SIMPLE way around is to use naming stds with your files and
process them accordingly.
