    Hi Alan,
            No you're not misunderstanding. The images scale to represent the
    same fraction of the width of the browser that they do in your AbiWord
    document.

    Of course the browser experience is different from a Word Processor
    experience but this I think is closer to what a user would expect
    exporting a document to HTML.

    The issues are:

    1. Images in AbiWord are often scaled to make them the desired size.
    2. It was the only way to make them fit into tables correctly.

    See http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~msevior/abiword/guadec-4.abw and export
    it to HTML. It basically looks correct IMHO.

    Cheers

    Martin
