title: How can I resize a "link to file" image in RTF document?
body: <p>My program creates RTF files with links to image files (not embedded). I can't figure out how to override the size of the images.</p>
  
  <p>I generate the following RTF:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{\field
      {   \*\fldinst
          {   INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\\\dir\\\\image.jpg" MERGEFORMAT \\d \\w2786 \\h2409 \\pm1 \\px8177 \\py17 \\pw0}
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I load the document into MS Word, Word seems to completely ignore the width/height info, reverting to the actual size of the image.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to figure out how Word does it by creating a document, inserting a link to an image, re-sizing the image and saving the document as RTF.</p>
  
  <p>When I close &amp; re-open the document, the image is back to its original size. There is no sizing information in the RTF file that is created by Word.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot find a description of \d, \w, \h, \pm etc. in the RTF specification. (I found these at <a href="http://www.wpcubed.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5498" rel="nofollow">http://www.wpcubed.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5498</a>).</p>
  
  <p>How can I change the size of the image?</p>
  
  <p>Note: the program also offers the option of embedding the image, so that's not a solution. Asking the user to externally re-size the image is also not an option.</p>
