referenced graphics

[obair81 at comcast.net]

After some more testing, I see that I can make the word file using mif2go sans images, just placeholders, then in the new word doc do Edit>Links, then pick the graphics links, then click Update, and they show up as referenced images.

Whew!  Glad I don't have to use word often.

Thanks, jeremy.
