2.1.1208 Part 1 Section 20.1.2.2.19, graphicFrameLocks (Graphic Frame Locks)

  • Article

a.   The standard specifies that an implementing application should lock the aspect ratio of the graphic frame if the value of the noChangeAspect attribute is true.

When a user resizes a graphicFrame by direct manipulation (by dragging with the mouse, for example), Office ignores the noChangeAspect attribute. When a user resizes the frame by entering the desired dimensions, this attribute is taken into account.

b.   The standard includes noMove and noResize as attributes of the element graphicFrame.

Office does not implement and will ignore the attributes noMove and noResize for graphicFrame elements.

c.   The standard states that the noSelect attribute of element graphicFrameLocks disallows the selection of the corresponding picture.

In Office, the noSelect attribute of element graphicFrameLocks disallows the selection of the corresponding graphic frame.
