-and- |
| • | The WMF and EMF metafiles are less than 1 megabyte (MB).
-and- |
| • | The WMF and EMF metafiles have many StretchDIBit calls. |
the files are extremely slow to open.
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
| 1. | Select the picture object in the file that is rendering slowly.
|
| 2. | Click Edit, and then click Cut.
|
| 3. | Click Edit, and then click Paste Special.
