Really ? Some WMF files (which I have) show that left, top, right, and bottom 
are specified in 1/100 mm. 

Actually, what I did was loading a WMF picture into MS Word document and 
saving it as RTF file and there I found that original width and height of the 
picture in RTF (specified by \picwgoal and \pighgoal) are the same as (or 
close to ) the value of (right-left) and (bottom-top). This means that those 
values are in 1/100 mm, as RTF specifies \picwgoal and \pichgoal.

When I inserted the same picture in KWord, saved the document to RTF and then 
opened it in MS Word, it's just the same as if I had inserted the picture 
directly in MS Word. I even did some arbritrary scaling to the picture. 
That's why I was quite sure the code was right. Did I really miss something?
