Carol,

In reference to comments made by Nancy Allison and others

Easy!!! . . .  ??? . . .
0. convert the ".doc" file to ".htm" to ".txt".
1. the < image001 . . . o.title="Yerkes_Inn_Salem_NY"/> can be 
*programatically extracted* to an ASCII "listfile.txt" via a MSVisualBasic 
prgm.
2. the CD's Images (tif & eps) can be loaded into a single "manual" work 
folder.
3. an "Adobe Photoshop CS3" script developed by Rick Quatro that is very 
successful, can convert all the ".tif"s to ".eps" files.
4. enquire of Rick, if he can script, for Frame "image calls" to all be 
changed to only call the cvt'd ".eps" image NAME.eps.

and . . . if any/all/some images are 4/color . . . you want ".EPS"!!!

best to all
