The limit to the graphics seems to be the problem, not so much the
image type. I'm going to look at converting multiple images from .eps to
.jpg or .gif but in a large file size. We just need something quick and
easy for our documents to be searchable. Normally we produce everything
in pdf but this isn't easily searchable on the web for content. But the
images do need to be a little better. I can replace the graphics in the
HTML folders and it looks great. Thanks for all you help and
suggestions!

FrameMaker's Save As HTML facility is very basic and the only control
you
have over graphics is on the HTML Setup Dialog (File>Utilities>HTML
Setup).
Clicking Options... opens an auxiliary dialog which allows you to save
graphics files as .gif, .jpg or .png.
.gif is the default setting. 
GIFs are limited to 256 colours. FrameMaker also reduces the resolution
of
the graphics. These factors often result in poor quality images. We
found
with images of coloured computer dialogs that the text on the dialogs
was
illegible.
You can manually edit your HTML document and put the original graphics
back
in, which will restore the image quality, but if you have a large
document
this will take a long time.
You don't say how you are distributing the HTML files but if you are
distributing them over the web I am not sure that most browsers support
the
.eps file format.

I need to save some Frame files as HTML and this works great with Save
As - except for the graphics. Does anyone know how to change the
settings for graphic filesin FrameMaker when converting eps graphics for
web? Right now it is saves them as gif and they look horrible. Thanks!
