Thanks for the reply, Michael!

At which point do you think Windows verifies the record sizes? Load time (I
mean loading from the .EMF file)? I guess it's not worth enumerating the
metafile and fixing the records on the fly before playing them into the
metafile.

It seems most my metafiles contain records with sizes not multiple of 4
bytes. I think what I need is a tool that fixes the metafile by reading the
records, correcting the sizes and writing them to another file with the
correct size.

The problem would then be how hard it is to handle the records without
Windows' help...
