How to Import WMF and EMF Content from Word
Word import of Codebeamer has limited support for importing the WMF or EMF content from Word documents. WMF and EMF files are special and non-standard formatted pictures embedded in Word documents, but these formats are mostly limited to Windows operating systems and can be displayed properly only in Microsoft Word variants.
The web browsers do not support WMF/EMF picture formats (with a possible exception of Internet Explorers); therefore when importing such pictures to Codebeamer the importer tries to convert them to JPEG.
This conversion requires that either LibreOffice or OpenOffice is installed on Codebeamer's host. Perform the following steps:
• Install LibreOffice or OpenOffice on Codebeamer's host. For Linux see here: Step by step: how to configure a Linux-Ubuntu instance for running with Codebeamer
• If the LibreOffice or OpenOffice executable is not found then specify in Codebeamer where these executables are located. For more information , see:Configuring search PATH where external executables are found.
Known Limitations:
The converted image will be in the JPEG format and will always have 816x1056 pixel size (or smaller due to crop).
