VSTO Addin Development for Image Resizing in MS Word

Project Overview

Francine was looking for a streamlined solution to automate the process of resizing and aligning images in MS Word reports. While her initial request was a macro, the project evolved into a VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office) plugin tailored to ensure all images in a document were resized to 100%, set with a wrapping style of top and bottom, and aligned both horizontally at the center and vertically at the top line.
