For Word RTF, the only way to put in an image that you can scale (to match the size in Frame) is to embed it as a WMF. Bitmaps in WMFs are very similar to BMPs, so it's the best format to start with. >It's a recommended practice with Mif2Go.

It *is* the best way, when you want properly scaled images in Word at the best resolution. Mif2Go can make the BMPs for itself from other formats, but it uses Frame's graphic export filters to do that, and those filters are limited to screen resolution. That's fine for docs only viewed on screen, but looks poor when printed. Preconverting preserves the original resolution. It also lets us include any callouts or other Frame additions as vector elements in the WMF. -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
