images for mif2go

[Diane Gaskill]

Why are you using BMPs John?  I work in both FM and Word and never use BMPs
for anything.  BMP graphics are very large and unnecesarily bloat up the
Word doc.  And from what I've seen, they don't give me any better pictures
than JPGs, or for that matter, GIFs. when embedded in Word.

No...you put a BMP version of your images in a directory (I use the
output directory) and instruct Mif2Go to swap the GIFs/PNGs/TIFs with
the BMPs when generating the Word files.

I use PaintShopPro to batch convert the images.
