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 based on page geometry.... I don't think any
are up to that.
