PUBDB NEEDS image Size and Aspect Ratio control when Export to Excel

PUB Documentation Builder currently supports Aspect Ratio retention and size constraining when outputting to MS Word document, it however doesn't when outputting to MS Excel. 
RM-DNG data by its nature is only practically viable via Excel, however, images output via Excel at this time, are unanchored (won't remain within their cell) and when they exceed the max cell size within Excel, spillover into other cells, and risks placing the image in an incorrect cell. The only other means for exporting RM-DNG data exports them as a Note within the cell, which is severely limited by the 23kB size constraint for such cell Notes, resulting in us currently having NO viable/practical means to export the data to Excel for external reviews. 

This is a significant pain point across our organization due to the nature of our customers.
