Default Includepicture works - with errors

Hi
I use Rational Soda to generate functional specs with included images.
Rational Soda and Word interact OK together. The problem I get is two-fold
and relates to "includepicture" command.

1. The images are only able to be seen if the person reading the doc has the
same drive mappings. To correct this I have to manually remove the link by -
Ctrl - shift - F9.
2. The mailmerge template defines the image size as (say) 5 cm high by 10 cm
wide. The included images are invariably not this size so Word scales them
until both dimensions fit within the template image dimensions, ie if the
first required image is 25cm by 20 cm it will shrink the image by 80% so that
the height matches the 5cm while the width is now 2cm, if the second image is
1cm by 2 cm it scales to 500% of its original size.

Is there some other command to insert a piccy without having it link to the
image - ie force word to insert a file? and....

Stop word from resizing the image to suit the template and to force Word to
include the original image (I will edit the image if it is too large).

Thanks in advance
