Word holds a picture one of three ways, and the option says which. The formats themselves — what is carried, what is converted, what is refused, and the ceiling on a raster — are the same as the deck's, and are on Images.

The options

Option Default
images embed embed, placeholder, skip
imageMaxWidth 15.0 centimetres
svgFallback raster none for readers that can take the vector

pendingImageConversions() reports what was converted, and pendingLosses() says when the vector was written with no raster beside it — which means a reader that does not prefer the vector draws nothing at all where an SVG was.
