Pandoc HTML to WORD Conversion embeded non-editable images

Love pandoc, but alas I have an issue. When I covert an HTML file with 
images to .docx the images are embedded. I can't click on them or resize 
them. Does anyone have a solution for this?

To illustrate my challenge, here are two test files.  I'm using this 
command to covert the HTML:

pandoc -s TestFile4.html --reference-doc=aiztemp.docx -o TestFile4.docx

As you can see, the result gives the word file, but the image in the file 
can not be resized or adjusted in any way.  I would really love to learn 
what I can do to fix this so that I can do post-conversion editing on my 
file. For example, is there a wrapper I should be putting around the images 
in the HMTL?

I hope someone can help.

Hi,

The DOCX writer inserts this element in the document's XML source code which locks the picture:

  <pic:cNvPicPr>
    <a:picLocks noChangeArrowheads="1" noChangeAspect="1"/>
  </pic:cNvPicPr>

I guess that there should be something in Word to change this, like right-click on the image > Properties > Advanced Properties, but I can't check it. Otherwise you can access it via a macro. Uncompressing the DOCX file, removing the offending element in word/document.xml and recompressing it may also do the trick, although I have no way to verify it.

If all you want to do is to change height or width, you can set these attributes in the HTML file.

Regards,

Bastien

Thanks. This is helpful, I'll keep digging.

I've validated that I can change it at the source. Next step, however, is 
to figure out how to unlock an image in Word for spot adjustments. Using 
Mac BTW.  There does not seem to be be a preference as you suggest.  Thanks 
for the reply. :)

I don't think this is the issue; I already tried changing
this and it didn't seem to make any difference.

Side note: when I try to create my own docx with images using
pandoc, they are editable.  So I'm not sure what is going on
here.

Oh, sorry, you're right, all attributes are set to false by default. Here only aspect ratio is locked (the other attribute doesn't seem to be relevant).

There may be a hint here: https://www.wikihow.com/Anchor-an-Image-in-Word
In LibreOffice, I have to anchor the image to the paragraph to be able to move it freely.

Hi there, I figure it out.  It turns out if an image hi hyperlinked it 
can't be resized. Remove the hyperlink and it works as expected. Who knew? 
Certainly not me. ;-)  Thanks for your help.
