Procedure

Quick Reference

To insert a WMF file

1. Click Insert menu Windows Metafile.At the Command prompt, enter wmfin.
2. In the Import WMF dialog box, select the WMF file you want to open. Click Open.
3. Specify an insertion point for the WMF file.
4. To specify the scaling, use one of the following methods:
   • To specify an imaginary box whose dimensions correspond to the scale factor, enter c (Corner) at the command prompt. Specify the opposite corner above and to the right of the insertion point to avoid inserting a mirror image.
   • To specify 3D scale factors, enter xyz.
   • To set the X and Y scale settings, enter a scale at the command prompt. You can set different horizontal and vertical scales. Enter 1 to retain the current scale. Enter a higher number to enlarge the metafile image. (Enter 2 to double the size of the image.) Enter a positive number less than 1 to shrink the image. (Enter .5 to halve the size of the image.) Note that using this option makes it very difficult to import the WMF file at a specific scale or size.
5. Specify the rotation angle.
