Populate a Microsoft Word Template Images come warped

[tmooreieng]

I have a flow which takes form input data and populates a word template, it also includes images, however it seems the images always come over warped, as in not in their native aspect ratio. I'm fairly certain they're using the aspect ratio defined by the word template "Picture" content control. Is there a way to make this adapt to the incoming photo or am I just going to have to re-shape these every time? Would be very inconvenient.

I suppose worst case I could make them all match the most common aspect ratio that would be coming in but even that would be fairly inconvenient.

Hi @tmooreieng 

Unfortunately, the image is image is bound by the control dimensions where the image is being placed, as you can read in this thread: Solved: Populate MS word with picture - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

As an alternative, you can used Encodian connector (Premium) which solves that issue.

Hope it helps!

How do you build that from form input data to word template? That's exactly what I am trying to do this AM.

Thanks!
