WebOptions.RelyOnVML property (Publisher)

Returns or sets a Boolean value that specifies whether image files are generated from drawing objects when a web publication is saved. If True, image files are not generated. If False, images are generated. The default value is False. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.RelyOnVML

expression A variable that represents a WebOptions object.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

File sizes can be reduced by not generating images for drawing objects. Note that a web browser must support Vector Markup Language (VML) to render drawing objects. Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.0 and later support VML, so the RelyOnVML property could be set to True if targeting those browsers. For browsers that don't support VML, a drawing object will not appear when a web publication is saved with this property enabled.

If unsure about which browsers will be used to view the website, this property should be set to False.

Example

The following example assumes that users have Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0, and therefore specifies that images should not be generated from drawing objects when the web publication is saved.

Dim theWO As WebOptions 
 
Set theWO = Application.WebOptions 
 
With theWO 
 .RelyOnVML = True 
End With
