PowerPoint supports Windows bitmap (BMP) files and Windows metafiles
(WMF) directly, without a separate graphic filter. These filters are
required by other Microsoft products, such as Microsoft ClipArt
Gallery. WMF files must be in the Aldus Placeable Metafile format
(which contains a header with org and ext information).
Aldus and Micrografx have created an extended version of the Windows
Metafile Format called the "Placeable Metafile Format." In this
extended format, 22 bytes of information have been added to the
standard metafile header. This information allows the metafile to
specify how the metafile is to be placed and sized.
The WMF filter rejects files that do not have the correct key,
checksum, bounding rectangle, and/or enough data in the file.
