Equation Editor Issues

[Tony Tasillo]

I am still learning quite a bit about Frame, but have encountered a Preference setting that I cannot find any documentation for.  Can anyone explain to me what the Preference setting of "Save FrameImage with Import Graphics" actually does?
 
We have been having issues with equations that were imported as OLE objects.  After we updated Windows XP to SP3 on some of our systems, we began to encounter an error while trying to save files that had equations that were imported as OLEs.  We are unable to convert the equations to another graphic format, and are trying to avoid recreating all of the equations (there are a large number in the documents we are working with) using Frame's Equation Pallette.  So, when we checked the above referenced preference, we were able to save the file, but lost all of the OLE objects in the file.  This is not a huge issue as we were going to have to recreate them anyway, but I'm wondering if there is another solution that I am somehow missing.
 
Yes, the equations should have been created in Frame, but when the previous person who conducted our Frame training was here, they did not know how to use the Equation Editor and therefore offered the solution of using OLEs from MS Word.  
 
Any help or insight that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
