> Seconded. Good to know as I am currently moving back into FrameMaker and about to start using Visio again (Frame's "callout" functionality leaves much to be desired). Thanks for sharing!

Extraordinary to see this coming around again after all these years. I first encountered it in EMF files generated by Visio more than a decade ago: looked fine on screen in Visio, but ghastly in export file. (It wasn't FrameMaker's fault that time, but the export 'filters' in Visio.) > I also seem to remember some issues related to CMYK where, if graphics were > not EPS files, they would be channeled through Windows GDI and come out as > RGB (and maybe processed into EMF or WMF along the way?) Quite likely, but I cannot comment as I worked on Mac. > Anyway, the solution for me, at the time, was merely to always use EPS > graphics in my documents, if I ever wanted correct CMYK output.
