Hi Pat, I have done several FrameScript scripts over the years to do this. The process depends on how much control you need over the graphic file names. For example, here is the workflow we used on one project:
1) The client imported the Word documents into FrameMaker. 2) The client used a script to "mark" each graphic with the desired file name. 3) The client ran another script that exported each graphic to a specified folder with the desired name. The same script then re-imported the image by reference. I have done more automatic variations that derive the graphic file names automatically, based on the FrameMaker file name and page number of the graphic. Of course with FrameScript, just about anything is possible. If you give me some more details on your requirements offlist, I will let you know what is possible. Thank you very much.

The graphics are embedded but the client wants them imported by reference in Frame. I tried "extracting" them from Word by saving a file as HTML but the graphics became blurry and unusable. They look fine when I open the Word file in Frame. Is there a way to extract graphics from Word without losing quality? Or a utility that converts embedded graphics in Frame into imported- by-reference? Thanks for any help.
