When I need to convert a Word book into Frame, the workflow I use is
to print the Word book to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, and export
all of the graphics as .eps files. Then I import those by reference
into the FM book. (I rename them first to some meaningful filename.)
However, sometimes for reasons I don't understand, the graphics
exported out of the PDF are rendered in multiple horizontal strips
and are not usable.
So my second workflow is to open the PDF page with the problem
graphic on it in Illustrator, select the graphic, copy it to a blank
file, and save it in Illustrator format. I import the Illustrator
graphic by reference into Framemaker.
I'm using more and more Illustrator graphics as direct imports into
my Framemaker documents. It saves time to not have to convert them to
.eps or other graphic format. Plus, when I click them in Framemaker,
they open directly in Illustrator for editing.

FM, of course, converts the doc with all the Word graphics embedded.
I can get copies of all the graphics by doing a HTML save from Word
and then collecting all the .png and .jgp files that I need from
there. But what is the most efficient way (let's call it the modern
way) to get these into the FM document as imported graphics to
replace the embedded graphics. I've done the replace each one by
hand route in the past, but it "rawther bores me".
