I did not study deeply a metafile structure, but...

TMetafile has size defined in Width,Height (in pixels) and MMWidth, MMHeigh

(in 0.01 of millimeter).

These sizes can be different.

Word always uses size defined in MMWidth, MMHeigh.

It looks like Delphi TMetafile initially uses (Width,Height), but on

reloading adjusts (Width,Height) according to (MMWidth, MMHeigh).

I am afraid I can do nothing... The only way to prevent it - explicitly

define image width and heigh via RichView extra item properties (RichView

does it automatically for metafiles loaded from RTF).

PS: please send large files to my by e-mail, packaged in zip. Do not post

large attachments in the newsgroup.
