Can Metafile Companion fill areas of a WMF picture with color, much like Paint can fill the white space between the lines of a BMP drawing?

Metafiles are “object-based” images, so Metafile Companion can change the color of any object in a metafile. Therefore, if an “area” is actually an object like a polygon, then the answer to your question is “yes”. However, if the area is the “white space” behind all the objects, then there is no way of directly editing it – no program can because “it isn’t there” as far as the metafile is concerned. However, the savvy user would just create a solid rectangle (or polygon) and place it behind all the other objects to “fill areas” behind objects. Metafile Companion can do this quite easily. However, there is no “flood fill” capability in metafiles as there is in bitmaps.
