Bitmaps (.bmp) not a natively supported word image type?

[LokiTC]

When I try adding a bitmap (.bmp) to a word document, as per the examples, I get exceptions as below. It appears from looking at the source code ( BinaryPartAbstractImage.java@1541, line 311 onward) that .bmps are not in the list of natively supported image types for Word. I think they are supported, are they not? So, should they not be included in this case/list?

Thanks,

LTC

If you had ImageMagick set up, that would have converted it to a png, and everything would have worked.

But as you point out, native support is possible, so i've added it: http://dev.plutext.org/trac/docx4j/changeset/1556

Ok, thanks for that!

I did realize I could use ImageMagick if necessary, but one less thing to install if we can do without it.
