changing the size of the image that's combined with text

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Matt:

The imageSource property is the one you're looking for, and AFAIK, using a
hidden or offscreen image is the way to adjust what is displayed in the
field.  If you have an image in a field whose imageSource is assigned to
an imported image, and you resize the imported image, you should see the
image reference in the field update as well.

It would be a good feature request for the imageSource property to accept
width/height values.
