possible bug with saving documents with linked images

Something I've finally figured out the source of...

When editing a document with a linked image on a computer that does not have the linked image causes the document to be truncated. The image apears as a red outline in the document, but when the document is saved, the rtf is cut off. Adding the linked image to the local computer seems to fix the problem reliably. This was not a problem in v4 as sometimes we intentionally did not distribute the linked images.

for example:

{\headerf{\tblstart1{\trowd\trleft0\trftsWidth3\trwWidth10766\clftsWidth3\clwWidth4258\clvertalt\cel
 lx4258\clftsWidth3\clwWidth6508\clvertalt\cellx10766\pard\intbl\itap1\li0\fi0\ri0\sb0\sa0\ql\plain\f
 1\fs24\b{\*\wptools\wpomode0\wpoframe0{\*\wppicname{C:\\\\ProgramData\\\\image.jpg}}{\*\wppicsource{C:\\ProgramData\\
 image.jpg}}{\bin292

at the end, there are a couple ASCII characters like blocks. Any ideas on what I can check if this might be something I'm doing? The images are inserted using the standard WPT image dlg.

Hi,

no bug - the text is truncated by the code which reads the data that was produced by the TWPRichText.

If you work 0-character delimited ANSI strings you need to set the property WPRichText.WriteObjectMode to wobRTFNoBinary.

I will give that a try.

That does appear to fix the problem with the image saving.

What is the difference between wobRTF and wobRTFNoBinary?

I couldn't find anything in the PDF or help file.

This did the trick. Thanks Julian.
