typedef struct _PlaceableMetaHeader
{
DWORD Key; /* Magic number (always 9AC6CDD7h) */
WORD Handle; /* Metafile HANDLE number (always 0) */
SHORT Left; /* Left coordinate in metafile units */
SHORT Top; /* Top coordinate in metafile units */
SHORT Right; /* Right coordinate in metafile units */
SHORT Bottom; /* Bottom coordinate in metafile units */
WORD Inch; /* Number of metafile units per inch */
DWORD Reserved; /* Reserved (always 0) */
