If you're referring to graphics "with callouts" that were created in Frame, you're tight, I don't think MIF2go nor any other export program supports a clean conversion of them. You're basically asking for a program that can grab a jpg, gif, or whatever and merge that with another program's overlay

Ummm I'm really new to Mif2Go (so NOT an expert by any means), but my screenshots with callouts come through just fine. See section 26.2.1.2 Converting bitmap graphics for print RTF for a brief explanation of how it works. Also, I'm not positive, but I think you need to make sure the callouts
