Word 2007 xml image information

Question

I want to know the elements which store information regarding an image in a Word 2007 xml file. (such as height, width, visibility, etc.). In Word 2003 xml I could find it is shown as follows within v : shape tag.

<v:shape id="Picture 0" o:spid="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="31.jpg" style="width:2in;height:95.85pt;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square">
<v:imagedata src="wordml://02000001.jpg" o:title="31"/>
</v:shape>

I couldn't find something similar in Word 2007 xml. Can someone tell me where I can find that?

Answer 1

The image size is stored where the graphic is being used (as you can use the same graphic multiple times at different sizes), in the a:graphic tag in line to where the image is being used. Instead of the data being here, like earlier, this now points to a relationship ID.

The list of relationships are in the top of the file, one of them you find will have a type of 'image'. The attributes of the Relationship will be the name of the target (such as media/image1.jpeg). This is a link to the binary of your image, and will be located later on in a pkg:part/pkg:binaryData element.

It looks a bit like this:

<Relationships xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships">
  <Relationship Id="rId8" Target="media/image1.jpeg" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/image" />
  .. other relationships
</Relationships>
