Here is an OpenOffice Writer document doing what you described with a 
JPEG which I believe is not proprietary.  It was acquired with GIMP and 
cropped and scaled and saved as a JPEG and inserted into the document 
with "Insert/\Graphic fome file."  In OpenOffice writer the image can be 
rescaled.

Note that I did this quickly and the image is not of top quality.
