This is quite a common message when a FrameMaker document goes cross-platform, as for example Windows and Mac FrameMaker installations have different populations of graphic import filters. For example, FrameMaker for Windows can open .bmp files, while FrameMaker for Mac cannot. There are Unix examples too, as I remember.

You can find information about this is FrameMaker's online guide 'Working on multiple platforms'.

I cannot shad any light on the specifics of the WMF issue, but other may be able to.
