Re: Embedded Tex plugin for MS Word

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I've been outputting my passages from lilypond to PNG, then just including
the PNG files in the Word document via a graphic link.  To get the PNG
dimensions correct I've added "bogus" small paper form sizes to my system
print server, then I specify those paper sizes in the LP code that generates
that snippet.  Some paper sizes are like 1 inch high by 3 inch wide.  In
Word if you link to the graphics instead of embedding them then they will
always be "up to date", then you can re-run the LP jobs and have your Word
document automatically be correct.  As long as LP is depositing the updated
graphics to the expected locations of the graphics in the Word document.
