Hi Jeremy, We are converting some word docs to FM. The graphics files are embedded in word and we have no idea what the original tool was to create the graphics. When we import the word doc into FM, the MS2007 filter in FM does a good job. It creates frames and places the same embedded graphics in the frames. Does FM know at this point what the original graphics file format is and will Mif2Go extract the graphics to the original file format? Or am I wishing for too much.
Thanks lots, Diane =============== -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Jeremy H.

You can always get embedded graphics out of Frame and into files of their *original* type with Mif2Go; the free demo version will do that for you: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm Detailed instructions are in the User's Guide, par. 29.2.3, "Exporting and converting embedded graphics". The graphics will not have their original names, because Frame discarded those on import. (Word does better; it keeps them. ;-) But they *will* be in the original format, most likely EPS in your case, and the process is very fast and automatic; you can do a full book at once.
