Alright, now we’re getting to the fun part. Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Load Your Document

First, you need to load the document that contains the images you want to save as WMF.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Document.docx");

Explanation: In this step, we specify the directory where your document is located. Then, we load the document using the Document class provided by Aspose.Words. Easy peasy, right?

Step 2: Configure Save Options

Next, we need to configure the save options to ensure that the images are saved as WMF.

RtfSaveOptions saveOptions = new RtfSaveOptions { SaveImagesAsWmf = true };

Explanation: Here, we create an instance of RtfSaveOptions and set the SaveImagesAsWmf property to true. This tells Aspose.Words to save the images as WMF when the document is saved.

Step 3: Save the Document

Finally, it’s time to save the document with the specified save options.

doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithRtfSaveOptions.SavingImagesAsWmf.rtf", saveOptions);

Explanation: In this step, we use the Save method of the Document class to save the document. We pass the file path and the saveOptions as parameters. This ensures that the images are saved as WMF.
